Pfizer and Moderna vaccine, Figliuolo to the Regions: “In July, doses unchanged”

” The numbers are not an opinion, in July we will have the same doses of RNA vaccine as in June, the problem is linked to the agendas because clearly many Regions have planned the agendas well before the new CTS health prescriptions on AstraZeneca came out ‘ ‘. This was stated by the extraordinary commissioner for the Covid-19 emergency, General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo today in Cascia, assuring that “in July we will be able to ensure a quantity of doses that will allow the Regions to make an overall average of 500 thousand administrations per day , nationally “. “In this perspective – underlines the commissioner – the Commissioner Structure is acting bilaterally with all the Regions to reprogram the agendas of the administrations, because those who had planned the month of July with the rules prior to the last indication of the Cts could count out of four vaccines. Following a risk / benefit calculation in the presence of such a low infection curve, the two adenoviral vaccines now have major limitations. This means that in July we will have to do 2.6 million second doses with AstraZeneca a people over 60, while most of the other administrations, of first and second doses, for a total of over 14.6 million, will be done with Pfizer and Moderna “. Son specified that” almost 3.8 million are already usable today of doses of Pfizer, arrived last night, within a total, for July, of about 14.6 million Pfizer and Moderna, which, with the stocks we had, become 15 million vacci ni to Rna messenger. There is not a problem of quantity but there is a balancing problem on the Regions, some of which rightly counted on being able to grow even more with the first doses in July “, he continued, indicating that” now it is necessary to respect the administrations of all second doses, perhaps reprogramming some first doses, because where it was planned to use AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson, now it will be necessary to use the Pfizer and Moderna messenger RNA vaccines “.” The plan, conceived to bring us to the vaccination in September of 80% of people vaccinated through the administration of 500 thousand doses per day, he continues “, concluded General Figliuolo. As for the third dose,” we are thinking about it. We have made purchase options with the Ministry of Health, there will certainly be doses, then it must be science to tell us after how long and if the recall must be inoculated, we are ready and we are gearing up. The philosophy is to go to the doctors of med in general, pharmacies, hospitals but slowly get out of the logic of large hubs “, says Figliuolo.
