EXTRACT FROM THE ARTICLE OF THE CORRIERE DELLA SERA ON SYRINGES SENT BY ARCURI (BUT ARCURI IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE)

2,720 arrived in the Sacco-Fatebenefratelli hospitals in Milan. In Vimercate 1.170. In Lecco 430. And so on. For a total of 11,060. Supply sent from Rome on December 30, the first "real" shipment of vaccination material after the "launch" of the "V-day" during the Holidays.

With a problem: those more than 11 thousand syringes sent to Lombardy, which would be used to dilute the vaccine with physiological solution, according to several doctors and technicians consulted by the Corriere would be too "big". Capacity 5 ml compared to the amount of physiological to put in the vials, which is 1.8 ml.

Part of the syringes bought by Arcuri for vaccines are not usable. Word of doctors

Therefore smaller syringes would be more suitable, and with a different needle from the one they have instead. But perhaps the most critical aspect is that which concerns the "smaller" syringes, the 3 ml ones, which are however (also in this case) too "large" to administer the vaccine, of which a 0 dose must be taken. 3 ml: "inadequate" instruments because they would oblige whoever has to give the vaccine to even a minimal approximation of the dose, because they do not have the "notches" calibrated on such small quantities.

Of these syringes, again on December 30, over 35 thousand arrived in Lombardy (3,200 in Vimercate, 1,600 in Lecco and the same number in Mantua, 8,000 at the «Sacco-Fatebenefratelli» in Milan, 2,400 in Como). Result: many Lombard structures have started the vaccination campaign anyway, but using their own stocks of sanitary material and not being able to rely, at least on the first supply, on the support provided by the structure of the extraordinary commissioner.

The data obtained by the Courier give a more extensive and complete picture of the difficulties on the supply of December 30 in Lombardy, where more than 46 thousand syringes would have arrived overall, at least not suitable for use for vaccinations. It is the health directors themselves who explain that the syringes will not be wasted, but that they will still be used in hospitals for other needs, and that in any case, thanks to the stocks they already had that first distribution, it had no impact on vaccinations.
