Hitachi Rail is ready to vaccinate employees from all over Italy, direct and indirect: about 5,700 people at the plants in Naples, Potenza, Reggio Calabria, Turin, Genoa and Pistoia. The vaccination plan, developed at the Neapolitan site of via Argine for Hitachi throughout Italy, is now defined. In order to be able to leave, it is expected that the protocols between Regions, Local Health Authorities and industrialists will be signed and vaccines will be provided.
“Everything else – they reassure Hitachi – will be borne by the company”.
The vaccination plan
The plan provides for the use of a track set up ad hoc, with four chambers for inoculation, with a resuscitator, two competent doctors for each establishment, four nurses. With this organization Hitachi expects to be able to make five hundred vaccines a day. If, as you would like, it will be possible to leave at the end of May, after about ten days the campaign could also be completed with the second dose for everyone. “A few weeks ago we formally nominated Hitachi by writing a letter to President De Luca – says Maurizio Manfellotto, CEO of Hitachi and president of the Industrial Union of Naples – With the availability given by Italian companies, millions of people can be vaccinated”.
