“Reduced doses of vaccine, unacceptable” – Libero Quotidiano

Also Giuseppe Conte worried. AstraZeneca and downsized vaccines for Italy are targeted. “The latest news coming to us from the manufacturers of anti-Covid vaccines is worrying,” the premier said in a long post on Facebook. AstraZeneca, also recalls Conte, has opted for a reduction of 60% of the doses that will be distributed in the first trimester.

In essence, it is the calculation, this means “that in Italy they would be delivered 3.4 million doses instead of 8 million“. An” unacceptable “situation – the Prime Minister defines it -. Our vaccination plan, approved by the Italian Parliament and ratified by the State-Regions Conference, was developed on the basis of contractual commitments freely assumed and signed by pharmaceutical companies with the European Commission These delays in deliveries constitute serious contractual violations “. For this Conte says he is ready to use “all the tools and all legal initiatives, as we are already doing with Pfizer-Biontech”.
