exceeded 150 thousand
"

There was an uphill start, but the system is now in full swing.
We have also exceeded the quota of 80 thousand double vaccinations administered and the requests of the over 80s for the home vaccine are just over 2 thousand that have been sent to the respective ASL to activate the Uscar or the general practitioner of the assisted, if he had joined to the vaccination campaign ".

The president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, wrote it on Facebook, attaching the scheme of the vaccination campaign, the details of which were exposed yesterday.
Puglia.
Lopalco: "In March hardly doses for over 80s"
"I echo Bertolaso: if within a month they give us 4 million vaccines then we will vaccinate all Apulians. But it's a joke because the vaccines will not arrive".
This was stated by Pierluigi Lopalco, councilor for health of the Puglia Region, at 24Mattino, answering the question about how soon the Apulians will be vaccinated.
Lopalco was not unbalanced on the numbers of vaccinated by the summer because "the supply picture we have reaches the first quarter and we are talking about a few hundred thousand, within the first quarter we will barely be able to vaccinate the over eighty-year-olds in addition to those of first phase ".
Galli: "Sptutnik results superior to those of Astrazeneca"
"The results of the Sputnik vaccine are superior to those we have of AstraZeneca".
So the infectious disease specialist and head physician of the Sack of Milan Massimo Galli at Breakfast Club. And he continued: "On Sputnik there are data beyond my expectations. I must say that someone very authoritative in the country had advertised it in such a way that in There were reactions of rejection and disbelief in the West, but important data released just yesterday in the Lancet show a very good result. I was frankly impressed ".
Ricciardi: "We need national coordination"
"We need national coordination because otherwise people don't know where to go to get vaccinated. We need a structure that gives clear and simple answers to the whole country and to all citizens of all age groups because it is all the population that must be vaccinated ".
Thus Walter Ricciardi, consultant of the Ministry of Health.
"It is not a question of rewriting the plan because the cornerstones remain valid and are the same ones that led to the success of the Israeli, British and American plan which is inspiring the American one. It is a question of vaccinating the largest number of Italians as soon as possible" continues Ricciardi .
"Obviously, given the scarcity of vaccines, either by the most important ones - such as health workers - or because they are vulnerable. After that, however, all the others must be vaccinated: from March-April a second phase is triggered that is not comparable to the current one: vaccinating 250 thousand Italians a day, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, that's what it's all about, "he added.
Aifa: "Astrazeneca in over 55 avoids damage from the disease"
On the AstraZeneca vaccine "the data tell us that it has an efficacy of approximately 60% on the whole population but that for the moment the most solid evidence concerns people between 18 and 55 years without serious diseases. So we have suggested a preferential use in the younger ones, waiting to acquire more information. There will be updates soon ". To say it is the president of Aifa Giorgio Palù in an interview with Corriere della Sera. "60% is not cheap - explains the professor - 50% is enough to affirm that a vaccine works. And then this preparation still protects against the most serious consequences of the disease. In fact we reiterated that the benefit / risk ratio is favorable even in the most seniors who respond like young people from the point of view of immunogenicity. Other countries have made different choices, opening up to seniors over 65. We, I repeat, await new data that will not be long in coming ", he specifies.
Bologna Order: "Penalty for opposing doctors"
The Bologna medical order will evaluate disciplinary measures against colleagues who will publicly speak out against anti-Covid vaccination. "It would not be ethically correct and neither respectful of the victims of Covid-19, especially at this historical moment, that even a few doctors have voices against vaccination, not supported by any evidence and based only on unverified news, or worse still, artfully interpreted ", reads a document drawn up by the Vaccines commission of the order and shared by various personalities of the Bolognese health care.
