But what is the cause of this slow start? To explain it is the Region itself that identifies two reasons: the vacation plan of the health personnel and the change of program in the delivery of doses. "In the days of the holidays, part of the staff enjoyed a sacrosanct rest – says the commissioner Giulio Gallera – since since February, like in no other Italian region, they are under pressure due to the violence with which the virus has hit our territory". But programming also weighs heavily. The booking and vaccination system designed by the leaders of regional health care – the first phase involves the administration to 343,224 doctors, health personnel and residents in the RSA – was in fact designed to leave tomorrow, the day on which the first trays were expected to arrive. . In reality, the 80,000 doses arrived well in advance, on December 30th, however, when the plan had already been defined and the shifts established.

«What we have set up is a very complex, albeit flexible machine – explains Giacomo Lucchini, the head of the vaccination campaign for Lombardy – which needs time to adjust during the race. Where it was possible, it was anticipated, taking into account that we are talking about health workers who in recent days have had two holidays, a semi-holiday and a Saturday. So many of them are resting and we are respecting that as they are on the front line. I don't feel the controversy over numbers is mine, compared to a path that will be very long ».

From Pirellone, an unofficial response to the Roman recall came on the syringes and the staff. Unusable syringes for vaccines would have been delivered in some Lombard Ats and the additional personnel who had been promised were not seen: "We hope that it will arrive above all for the phase that will involve the population", underlines Gallera. Programming The plan will start tomorrow with approximately 5-6 thousand administrations per day throughout the Region, then it will rise to 10 thousand to which those given to guests in the RSA will be added, thus reaching a maximum of 15 thousand. The coming week, in addition to the necessary acceleration on the vaccination plan, will also be crucial for planning the next phase. This is the one that will affect the population over 80 and those at risk: over three million people who will not be vaccinated before the beginning of March. According to the plan, in fact, only the 680 thousand doses necessary for the 340 thousand to be vaccinated in this first phase will have arrived by February 20, also considering the second dose.

Lombardy, which being the most populous region is preparing to face the broadest prophylaxis, has opted, unlike other regions, for distribution to 65 hubs, even if only 34 receive deliveries directly from Pfizer. A strategy that will pay off in the long run, but which did not favor the pace of the early days. But why, always according to the ranking of the site that updates the progression of the administrations in real time, Lombardy has only performed 4 percent of the vaccines already inoculated in Italy? Here you have to deal with the calendar. The original plan, net of delivery delays, also due to bad weather, envisaged opening the agenda from 4 January. "A thoughtful choice, also motivated by the fact that on holidays some of the staff enjoyed a sacrosanct rest, given that since February, like in no other Italian region, they are under pressure due to the violence with which the virus has struck our territory », adds Gallera.

Too complicated to change staff shifts to gain a couple of days, with the risk of packing hospitals still under pressure with almost 4,000 Covid patients , including resuscitation and other departments. The litmus test will take place in the next two to three days, counting that he will be vaccinated at full speed also on the day of the Epiphany and the adhesion was almost everywhere around 90 percent. At the Pirellone they are certain not only to be within the overall deadline of the end of February for the first segment of the population, but also to jump to the top of the regional ranking in a few days. For now it has been decided to run in the machine by vaccinating primary and department heads. "We will have to get used to the idea that delivery dates dance and dance – concludes the operational manager of the vaccination campaign in Lombardy Giacomo Lucchini -. It will be necessary to be good at making agendas elastic without losing rhythm ».
