Rome, April 8 (beraking latest news Salute) – The goal of “500 thousand vaccinations per day per hour remains a mirage”. The Gimbe Foundation emphasizes this in the Covid emergency monitoring report in the week from March 31 to April 6.
“Between cuts in supplies, temporary stop at AstraZeneca and ‘last minute’ quarterly deliveries – explains Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation – the numbers for March are far from the objectives of the Figliuolo plan, which expected to reach 210 thousand administrations per day in mid-March and 300 thousand by March 23. And above all, the 500 thousand administrations per day since April 15 are still a mirage that risks further delays due to possible restrictions and, above all, individual mistrust on the AstraZeneca vaccine “.
According to the analysis of the report: “Almost a third of the supplies relating to the first quarter (4.37 million doses) were delivered in the last 2 weeks: with a similar distribution, in the coming months the goal of 500 thousand vaccines per day risks to be rejected, even if the ‘vaccine portfolio’ for the second quarter foresees 52.5 million doses on paper, of which over 1.5 million have already been delivered by Pfizer. In addition, in the period 1 March-6 April they were administered on average 193,021 doses per day (range 93,612-294,187), with a real collapse on holidays which certifies the need to employ additional personnel for the campaign “.
