This morning, he received the first dose of the anti-Covid vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech. We met her at the exit of the Niguarda, intent on returning home after the vaccination.

Also adding: «I will be under control during this day, then in 21 days I will do the second dose. I am pro vaccine, in my opinion it is a valid help against this virus. But everyone will decide how he wants ».

It is a moment of pride for many healthcare professionals. A moment of light and hope. Something exceptional. A fundamental path begins for us, for the citizens and for the operators ».
Also present at the Milanese Vaccine Day Massimo Gaudina, head of the Representation of the European Commission in Northern Italy: «These first vaccinations are little more than symbolic but real. It is a first step », he highlighted. “It is essential to be here in Lombardy which was the first region in Europe affected by Covid. This is also why it is important to convey European solidarity and turn the page, as President Von der Leyen said.
