Vaccine scandal, Lombardy commissioner Aria Spa

La Lombardy region commissioner Air Spa, the regional IT and purchasing company to which it had entrusted the booking portal for anti-Covid vaccines. In recent days, the company has ended up at the center of controversy for a series of malfunctions and disservices. "I asked the members of the Aria board of directors to take a step back: otherwise I will reset the same by entrusting the current general manager, Lorenzo Gubian, with the leadership of the company", said the president of the Region, Attilio Fontana.

Sunday evening Letizia Moratti, regional councilor for health, had published the following tweet:

Along the same lines Matteo Salvini: "This morning I heard from Fontana, Moratti and Bertolaso ​​- said the secretary of the League - I expect a good sign of positive change".

Waiting for the takeover of Poste Italiane – which should manage the booking portal within two weeks – Aria will be forced to send the lists of people to be vaccinated to individual hospitals, which in turn will call whoever should receive the vaccine.

One of Aria's tasks was to send a text message with the date, time and place of the appointment to all the people who had asked to get vaccinated. Own failure to send many messages has created surreal situations: hundreds of vials ready, but very few people on site to receive the administrations. In Cremona, Monza and Como, doctors and volunteers tried to save the situation by calling directly, one by one, the people who needed to be vaccinated. A serious inconvenience for many elderly people, who in several cases were forced to move many kilometers in a hurry.

The situation has raised political tension even within the center-right majority that governs Lombardy, given that the president of Aria, Francesco Ferri, is from Forza Italia. The director of the merger between Lombardia Informatica and Arca from which Aria was born, however, is the councilor for the budget Davide Caparini, who had promised to transform the company into the flagship of Lombard efficiency.
