In Sicily, 250,000 doses of AstraZeneca are closed in refrigerators and are currently unused. The updated data is provided by the general manager of Dasoe, Mario La Rocca, at a press conference in the Presidency of the Region. "We started the open day three weeks ago to give strength and impetus to the vaccination campaign and to that with AstraZeneca in particular, whose stock in the refrigerators has always been abundant - says Governor Nello Musumeci - Towards AstraZeneca there has been and there is an understandable but unjustified psychosis, in the face of 5-6 deaths whose connection with the vaccine has in any case been excluded ".
Sicily starts the mass vaccination campaign in the smaller islands. The doses will be administered to all citizens aged 18 and over: we start at the weekend in Lampedusa and Linosa, from Monday to the rest of the islands. "I hope that General Figliuolo wants to understand that on our part there is no desire to be disobedient - says Governor Nello Musumeci - but we all feel the weight of the responsibility for the specific epidemiological condition of the island but also of a social nature. , otherwise we will never get out of this tunnel ".
"We have decided to open the booking from tomorrow to citizens aged 50 and over: to be exact from those born in 1971 (January 1) onwards". This was announced by the governor of Sicily, Nello Musumeci, at a press conference at Palazzo d'Orleans. "We asked Commissioner Figliuolo, with two letters, the possibility of admitting people under the age of 50 to 60 to the vaccine - says Musumeci - We have always been told that it is not possible, and that it can only be allowed when we have the people over 80 are safe but it is clear that we have no sanctioning or coercive powers to convince the rioters ".
