Vaccinations in the pharmacy

The debut in Morbegno

Yesterday morning the first administrations by Dr. Cesare Mazzocchi, the only one in the province for now

The “set” is perfect. Reception area with sanitizing gel and seats. Vaccination area in the mezzanine, with all the “necessaire” to carry out the injection; observation area with, you never know, the oxygen tank. Then there is the “resuscitation area, the” stroke unit “, where Cesare Mazzocchi, owner of the pharmacy of the same name in via Garibaldi in Morbegno as well as president of the Order of Pharmacists of the province of Sondrio, has arranged the life-saving drugs, first of all the “fast jets”, in jargon, that is the “charges” of adrenaline from 330 and from 500 micrograms. And the Ambu bag, which is used for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, in case, even here it never is, a severe allergic reaction should occur.

The doses already prepared, those he keeps, Dr. Mazzocchi, in a white container that does not leave a single moment. «From each vial of Johnson & Johnson – he repeats – we get five doses, but the problem is that we have three hours maximum time to inoculate them. So the phases must be organized and cadenced. That’s why, between Saturday and Monday, I made the patients come first, to take the medical history. In order to be more peaceful and safe during administration ».

The first session ever, at the level of pharmacies in the province of Sondrio, started in the “Cesare Mazzocchi”, in Morbegno, yesterday at 10 am. The only authorized, at the moment, at the provincial level. With five appointments set in the morning. Then five more followed in the afternoon, from 2pm onwards. And everything went smoothly.

In Morbegno there was Luca Trapani, secretary of Federfarma Sondrio. «For us today is a historic day – he said – because the pharmacist, by administering the vaccine, entered a sector in which he had never set foot. Giving an injection is not part of our business, indeed it has always been forbidden. So today’s one, for the category, is a big leap in quality. Successful, it seems, because we are not having any problems. Of course, I don’t know how much it can be replicated elsewhere, because, here at Dr. Mazzocchi, there are dedicated rooms and there are many collaborators on whom to rely. But most of the pharmacies located in the area, in small villages, the rural ones, are often managed by a single professional, who would never be able to set up a similar service ».
