FLOP VACCINATION IN ITALY
Until yesterday in Italy just over 5 million doses (5,198,860) have been distributed to the regions. Of these, those administered are just over 3.5 million (3,682,425). The difference is the most effective measure of the (poor) efficiency put in place so far. (Corsera)

I seem to have glimpsed a small gathering in Floris' sitting room on TV on La7 with 4-5 people talking without masks to invoke strict anti Covid measures, starting with masks and physical distancing. All right.

"Congo, Africa and our responsibilities. Andrea Riccardi speaks" (title https://t.co/CAuIozJnb0 ). "Our responsibilities"? That is, did we kill the Italian ambassador? Ricciardi (Community of Sant'Egidio?), What the heck are you saying?

EXTRACT FROM THE ARTICLE OF THE SUN 24 HOURS ON VACCINES:
Italy after an initial sprint in the very first phase – that of administrations to doctors and nurses in 300 hospitals – now at the dawn of mass vaccinations is slowing down and in fact after leading the EU ranking in the first weeks of January now for the number of doses administered per 100 inhabitants is behind Poland, Slovakia, Spain, France and Germany.
The fault is not only of the cuts in the deliveries of companies, a fact that affects all European countries and which yesterday saw a new heavy tile fall: according to EU sources, AstraZeneca would halve supplies to the EU in the second quarter by half, bringing the doses from 180 million to 90.
In reality, the problem is also in the organizational difficulties of the Regions which, in order to vaccinate outside hospitals – over 80, teachers, school staff and police forces – are too slow with territories already ahead and others that start very late between other with a chaos effect generated by the fact that the rules on reservations and administration points are often very different from Region to Region.
And so at the moment more than one in four doses (30%) remains in the refrigerators since out of the 5.2 million doses available, the administrations are almost 3.7 million: therefore 1.5 million doses are unused, numbers too high and not justified by the need to set aside the bottles for second administrations. With enormous regional differences: if the Aosta Valley has administered more than 90% of the available doses, Calabria, Sardinia and Liguria leave almost half unused.
But the most evident delay is that concerning the AstraZeneca vaccine which since yesterday – after a long-awaited circular from the Ministry of Health – is not only usable for the under 55 but up to 65 years. Here the "waste" is much higher: so far only one dose in ten has been used.
The commissioner structure led by Arcuri has in fact delivered 1 million and 48 thousand doses, but those administered are less than a tenth. The serum produced by the Anglo-Swedish company has been indicated as a priority for the use of vaccinations of the most exposed working categories, but according to yesterday's data there are very few vaccinated with the first dose: so far there are only 51 thousand vaccinated with the first dose of school staff and 33 thousand those belonging to the armed forces.
Just over 80 thousand doses used to which a few thousand more must be added for the vaccinations of private doctors under 55.
To weigh on the sharp slowdown is the fact that after having launched a fairly generic national plan on vaccines, implementation has passed to the Regions that are giving birth to 21 regional plans. With different rules and different times: there are those, for example, who are very advanced in vaccinating the over 80s – such as Lazio which has already reached 20% of the elderly – and those who are leaving only in these days.
