The memorandum of understanding
The agreement made with the associations provides that the private structures that have signed the memorandum of understanding undertake “to make available the medical, nursing, administrative and organizational staff for the administration of the Covid-19 vaccines that will be made available by the Regional health service, as well as to carry out the registration of vaccinated patients on the information system ».
The remuneration of the activity provided by private structures, the protocol reads, “is set at a flat rate of € 17.50 all-inclusive per vaccination cycle (ie the two Pfizer injections ed), to which must be added 7 euros relating to the completion of the logistical, organizational and administrative activity “. The total is 24.50 euros.
“President Toti – explains Berti Riboli – has asked private individuals to intervene in the fight against the epidemic. Someone, like Ascom Confcommercio Genova had already started, setting up a space where 120 vaccines are made per day. And so we thought that, instead of doing fragmented interventions, we could work together in a hub, alongside the Asl3 ».
Divided assignments
Private individuals have been tasked with administering the Pfizer vaccine, while public health workers will inoculate Astrazeneca. “In the first three days of next week (29,30 and 31 March, ed) – clarifies Berti Riboli – public personnel should administer a thousand vaccines with 10 stations, private individuals 500 with 5 stations. From April, the public should increase vaccinations by 10-15% and private individuals almost double, going up to 9 stations and reaching 800-900 vaccinations. In order to arrive, together, to 2 thousand ».
The goal, says Berti Riboli, “is to work 10 hours a day, also vaccinating on Saturday and Sunday. At the start, with 5 workstations, the private staff employed will be about 20 employees, including reception, medical and nursing staff. When we get to 9 workstations, about 35 people will work ».
