AstraZeneca, Lombardy: “We don’t need vaccine anymore”

In Lombardy, the AstraZeneca anti-Covid vaccine “no longer serves us”. The coordinator of the vaccination campaign Guido Bertolaso ​​said at a press conference, explaining that “300 thousand doses are needed to complete the second doses for over 60s”, but in general “we no longer need it”. Here “the challenge is being won” also because an attempt has been made to immediately vaccinate the most fragile. “We held out – he stressed – even though we were overwhelmed by criticism because we wanted to vaccinate only the 80-year-olds. I replied that they did so because we are serious, we want to vaccinate those most at risk”. Bertolaso ​​then explained that “at the moment we have had informal news from the central structure in Rome that in July there could be reductions in the supply of mRna vaccines, which would create problems for Lombardy and all the other regions”. “They would have more problems – he added – especially the virtuous regions, which had already set reservations, and we have reservations until August 4: we travel on an average of 100 thousand reservations a day until August 4. If we were to receive vaccines below the number expected there will be problems “. We are working on this problem, “I believe that in the end a solution will be found. It is not the fault of the Regions or of Figliuolo, who is the end of a supply of a contract made 2 thousand kilometers away from here. We still have plans B in the drawer: we will solve the problem, maybe there will be some inconvenience for some citizens who will have their dose shifted for a few days “. THE
