Rome, April 29, 2021 – In Italy it has been reached the target of 500 thousand vaccinations per day. The announcement comes from the same extraordinary commissioner for the Covid emergency, Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, who spoke at Porta a Porta. The general also assured that when those over 65 will be safe there will be fewer age groups to get vaccinated. It also confirmed the vaccination certificate for travel in Italy, adding that the European green pass will take place in June, but Italy is already working on his pass.
Procurement also continues: in the freezers of the national defense hub set up at the military airport of Pratica di Mare, near Rome, they are arriving another 2 and a half million about doses of Covid vaccine. A supply, which if added to the 2.2 million Pfizer serum of 27 April 2021, will guarantee the Regions the possibility of maintaining the trend of administrations growing demanded by the targets of the national vaccination campaign. (the Region by Region targets).
Vaccines on the way
Three lots are expected at the Defense hub: over 2 million Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca), more than 270 thousand of Modern and about 160 thousand of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). All will be divided and distributed to the Italian regions, explains in a note from the commissioner for the emergency of General Figliuolo.
Serum supply forecast
In addition, another 15 million vaccines are expected in May, 17 according to the commissioner, and in June 31 million. In short, the Italian vaccination campaign could touch the levels of Great Britain, and exceed them, given the 518 thousand British daily doses in the last week.
Vaccinations carried out
In Italy, more than 13 and a half million people vaccinated with at least one dose (22.6% of the population), of which 67.9% are over 70. More than 5.6 million Italians have also received the recall (some tens of thousands have received the J&J single-dose). Among the over 80s, 60% have been vaccinated, and boosters should no longer be at risk of exhaustion, with the arrival of doses of AstraZeneca. The police station underlined that from March 5 to today, that is, from his arrival, vaccinations increased by 275%.
When the over 65 is safe, the age groups will be removed
“When we have put safely over 65, even with just a first dose, at that point you can think of giving companies the opportunity to vaccinate your staff e overcome the concept of age class “, the emergency commissioner spoke of this hypothesis during the recording of the program hosted by Bruno Vespa on air this evening. According to the general, the hypothesis could become reality at the “end of May”, in the light of the 17 million doses that Italy should have next month.
Figliuolo then explained: “We will have the opportunity to go in parallel and multiple ways and vaccinate the working-age classes in order to restore security also from an economic point of view”. And afterwards it will also be possible to think about vaccinating the staff of the tourism sector, clarifying that the discussion with the regional presidents has already begun.
With vaccination certificate you can travel to Italy
The extraordinary commissioner he confirmed: “The decree of 22 April provides for the vaccination certificate issued by the regions and with a national code. A certificate for both those who made the two doses, or single-dose in Johnson’s case and for those who have recovered from the disease and then there is a certificate that lasts 48 hours for those who make the tampon. With this certificate, citizens will be given the opportunity to move freely throughout Italy. The European one, digital green pass, will arrive in June. But we are already working for our certificate which will allow you to move throughout Europe. “And he added:” Surely having comforting data, the decline in RT, the warm season and continuing with correct behavior, increasing vaccinations will help us to be freer “.
Son: “Serious health workers who refuse to get vaccinated”
Son criticized nurses and doctors who they refuse to be vaccinated: “Each of us must have morality and values. One cannot think of going in front of sick, weak people, even for other problems, and risking killing them. This is very serious. A recent decree now obliges them, even with heavy penalties up to expulsion from the workplace. Training and information on this must be done “.
