Vaccino Covid, the pro-vax vaporetto sails in Venice

For a month, starting today, a pro-vax vaporetto will sail the waters of the Venice Lagoon carrying around the message ‘The vaccine saves our lives. Let’s get vaccinated against Covid-19 ‘imprinted on the side and on the roof of the vehicle set up ad hoc. The initiative, which is part of the national campaign in favor of anti Covid immunizations promoted by the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo), had its baptism this morning between San Marco and Rialto. “For this campaign – explains the Fnomceo president, Filippo Anelli, who took part in the maiden voyage – we use an important tool, that of advertising. We do it because in this way we are able to be more incisive. And the message is even more incisive today. here in Venice, using an icon, a symbol known all over the world, in a unique context in the world. Thanks to the vaccine – recalls the Fnomceo summit – we have defeated diseases, we have eradicated them. In terms of prevention, the vaccine is a stone milestone in medical practice. For this reason – he reiterates – once again, I urge those very few colleagues who have not yet immunized themselves to do so: during the emergency we recorded 60-80 deaths a month among doctors. Then we were among the first to vaccinate and the mortality in our category has in fact almost annihilated. It is we, first of all, – underlines Anelli – we have demonstrated the effectiveness of the vaccine “. And “today if we are in a situation of almost normalcy – he concludes – we owe it to the vaccine. Now we need to push on the third dose to further lower the spread of the virus”.
