The first effects of the lack of Pfizer vaccine doses are felt in Sardinia. There are numerous text messages that already arrived yesterday evening to those who had the reservation to make the recall next week: the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna in fact postponed for 7 or 10 days.
Pfizer is the most used serum on the island and in Italy since the number of people who can join the anti-Covid vaccination campaign was expanded19.
A new load is expected for Monday 31st, but there are “only” 10,200 doses that will be enough for the day, then others will arrive in succession, but the region risks having to stop overnight, at least for the under 60s.
“Our vaccination capacity is 25-20 thousand per day – says the special commissioner of Ares-Ats, Massimo Temussi – to date we have 25 thousand doses of Pfizer in the freezer and already with the campaign for the smaller Covid free islands in Sant ‘ Antioco we use 12 thousand this weekend: the real risk is that of having to stop “.
In the last 24 hours, 18,028 vaccines have been administered in Sardinia which increase the number of inoculations to 866,211, 87% of the 994,500 delivered doses.
Many of those in stock, however, are from Astrazeneca, which many refuse, especially those over 60.
“For now we have no problems in using the stocks of Vaxevria – says Temussi – because we are making the calls for the police and teachers, before the polls in the schools begin. However, there is a national problem that must be solved in Rome. : the ministry or the higher health institute must tell us how to act on this problem which is of a health nature and which cannot be managed by Commissioner Figliuolo whom I thank for the change of pace given to the campaign and for the continuous and effective discussions “.
