The COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Italy is a mass immunization campaign that was put in place by the Italian government in order to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It started on 27 December 2020, together with most countries in the European Union.

The vaccination campaign was managed by the Ministry of Health and the special commissioner Domenico Arcuri until 1 March 2021,[1] [2] when he was replaced by Army General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo.[3]

Workers had to exhibit a pass stating vaccination or a negative test from 15/10/2021 to 30/04/2022.[4] Vaccination against COVID-19 was mandatory for all people older than 50 in Italy from 15/02/2022 to 30/06/2022.

Vaccination program

In the first months of the vaccination campaign, the governmental agencies targeted the health medical and administrative personnel, together with the guests and personnel of nursing homes.[5]

In the second phase of the campaign, elderly people and public service personnel should receive the vaccine.[5]

Vaccines

The Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was authorized by the European Commission on 21 December 2020, on the same day after receiving recommendation for granting conditional marketing authorization by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).[6]

Chronology

December 2020

The Italian vaccination campaign was coordinated and agreed with the European Union (EU). The EU countries, as per previous agreements, received the vaccine provisions according to a centralized plan developed by the European Commission.[11]

On 30 December 2020, 359,775 doses of vaccine were delivered by Pfizer–BioNTech.

On 31 December 2020, 110,175 doses of vaccine were delivered by Pfizer–BioNTech.

January 2021

From 30 December 2020 to 1 January 2021, 469,950 doses of vaccine were delivered by Pfizer-BioNTech.

On 6 January 2021, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) gave its authorization for the Moderna vaccine.[12] At 8 pm on 7 January 2021, 379,910 people were vaccinated in Italy.[13]

According to a scientific study of COVID-19 virology, the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine also protects against the two mutations of the virus that have spread in the United Kingdom and South Africa.[14]

Both strains share a common mutation called N501Y, a slight alteration at one point in the protein that covers the virus.[14]

On 10 January 2021, the Campania region in Italy had the highest percentage of administration compared to the doses possessed. It also claimed to have exhausted the stock.[15] [16]

On 11 January 2021, 75,075 doses of vaccine were delivered by Pfizer–BioNTech.[13]

On 12 January 2021, 47,000 doses of vaccine were delivered by Moderna.[17]

On 11 and 12 January 2021, 488,475 doses were delivered.[13]

Pfizer has reduced vaccine availability by 29% as of 18 January 2021.[18] [19] On 16 January 2021, 800 doses of Moderna vaccine were lost due to freezer failure in Forlì.[20]

On 18 and 19 January 2021, there are further delays and reductions in the number of Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines.[21] [22]

On 20 January 2021, the vaccination campaign was slowed down due to a lack of vaccine stock.[23]

On 20 January 2021, AstraZeneca delays the delivery of the vaccine and reduces the expected quantities for deliveries across Europe.[24]

The delay in vaccine supply is delaying the vaccination campaign. On January 29, 2021, Moderna also cut vaccine supplies by 20%. About 300,000 doses are missing in the supply of vaccines provided for in the agreements with Moderna.[25]

The European Union is in sharp confrontation with AstraZeneca on the timing and quantity of vaccine supplies. This leads to a serious delay in the Italian and European vaccination campaign.[26]

February 2021

On 2 February 2021, the vaccination campaign is slowing sharply due to a lack of deliveries of vaccines by pharmaceutical companies.[27] [28]

On 6 February 2021, the first 249,600 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine arrived in Italy.[9]

On 11 March 2021, AIFA banned the use in Italy of a batch (number ABV2856) of the AstraZeneca vaccine for checks in relation to the deaths of two men in Sicily after administration of the vaccine.[37] [38] [39]

On 15 March 2021, AIFA suspends the AstraZeneca vaccine throughout Italy on a temporary basis for investigations into death cases after vaccination.[40] [41] [42]

On 19 March 2021, AIFA revoked the ban for AstraZeneca, vaccinations have resumed.[43]

On 20 March 2021, the special commissioner, Army General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo and the chief of Protezione Civile Fabrizio Curcio were vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine.[44]

Meanwhile, Oxford University's Jenner Institute is suspending testing of the vaccine on children. The Oxford University's Jenner Institute decision was made pending an analysis of the possible links between the drug and episodes of thrombosis among adults.[48]

In Italy, 54% of doses of AstraZeneca vaccine have been administered to date (2,218,038 out of 4,098,800 delivered), according to the Ministero della Salute, while for Moderna vaccine the percentage drops to 50% (658,403 out of 1,328,200).
