Some of the Italians who symbolize the fight against Covid will be the first vaccinated on the symbolic day, on V-Day Sunday 27 December, when the vaccination campaign will start across Europe. In Rome, at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani, it will be the turn of a 29-year-old nurse who works in the hospital, but has also cared for many elderly people at home in recent months. Her name is Chiara Alivernini.
A social health worker will be vaccinated with her engaged in the Covid departments, a researcher and two doctors, all from the Spallanzani Institute.
In Piedmont, one of the first will be Professor Giovanni Di Perri, director of the University Clinic of Infectious Diseases of the Amedeo di Savoia hospital in Turin. “All the operators in my department who have not yet contracted the virus will vaccinate with me,” he told al Corriere della Sera. In Milan there will be the infectious disease specialist Massimo Galli.
They will receive one of the 9750 doses of the Pfizer Biontech vaccine which have received the European green light and that of the Italian drug agency and which will arrive on 26 December. The Defense will manage the logistics. The trucks with vials at -75 degrees will enter Italy on the night between 25 and 26 December. They will be escorted by the carabinieri to the Spallanzani hospital in Rome, which will act as a central hub where the vaccines will be divided into twenty packs, one for each region. It will be the Armed Forces to take them all over the country. If the route is within 300 kilometers, light vehicles and trucks will be used. For the others with helicopters and planes.
The security measures they are necessary because Interpol and intelligence agencies report strong risks of theft for the black market. Vaccine offers have already appeared on the dark web. The greatest fear will come in January when deliveries of the various vaccines will be made directly to the administration sites by private transport.
Doctors and trainees will be vaccinating the healthcare personnel. After the symbolic group on Sunday it will be the turn of about a million health workers in January. Following those who live in the RSA then the populations at risk, the elderly or individuals with specific pathologies.
The Aifa general manager Nicola Magrini he explained that “antibodies develop after 6-7 days and that you can get sick in the days following the first dose is a remote possibility.” The vaccine is approved for the entire population over 16 and has no absolute contraindications, not even for pregnant or breastfeeding women because the benefits outweigh the risks.
The Italians seem ready to get vaccinated. According to one research coordinated by the National Institute of Health two out of three people (67%) are willing to get vaccinated, the percentage rises among the elderly (84%). The doses will be administered over the next year in 1500 flower-shaped gazebos in city squares, in front of hospitals and even in sports fields.
