Rome – Rome today inaugurated the largest vaccination point in Italy at the Nuvola (Cloud) conference center, where it is expected to be able to vaccinate “up to 3,000 people a day” according to the President of the Lazio region, Nicola Zingaretti.
On its first day, the center cared for the 800 people who had reserved to receive a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, in this case people “from 18 to 55 years old, school personnel, teachers and non-teachers,” he explained to Efe the coordinator of nursing of the center, Barbara Porcelli.
The immense space of 3,500 square meters has 50 triage tables and 50 vaccination points, which patients always visit accompanied by nursing personnel who monitor the process and which ends after an observation period of fifteen minutes after receiving the dose.
In total, the patient spends in Nuvola “about 25 minutes if there are no adverse reactions to the vaccine,” explained Porcelli, who nevertheless hopes that in the next few days it can be done more quickly.
Among the first professors who went to the conference center to get immunized is Patricia, who told Efe that she felt “very calm” after receiving the dose. For her, vaccination is something that must be done “by force, if not the end.”
Another teacher, Massimiliano, explained while waiting for observation that he was quick to decide once he was invited to get vaccinated because he was a teacher: “I reserved at the moment to help the country, because the more that get vaccinated the sooner we will get out of this.”
“We will return to the auditorium to make music, to this center to hold congresses”, predicted Zingaretti, referring to the opening in symbolic places of Rome as vaccination points. “The symbol of life must come from the places that belong to the people, to the citizens,” he said.
