Children’s covid vaccine, Pregliasco: “I hope the green light soon”

“I hope that in the short term it will also be possible to vaccinate children” against Covid “, as soon as there is the green light from the EMA, considering that for them too Covid is not a walk in the park and has long-term effects”. This was stated by Fabrizio Pregliasco, medical director of the Irccs Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute in Milan, in an interview with iNews24. “One in a thousand has multisystemic inflammatory syndrome which creates problems – continues Pregliasco -. The little ones are affected by the Delta variant, therefore vaccinating them would reduce many chances of contagion. They must also be vaccinated to keep the school open, because there are many classes in quarantine “. On the ascent of the contagion curve, the director specifies: “The Green pass works but it is not a total screen. Then it can also be obtained with a swab. The quick ones can give false negatives. Green certification was a political choice, but if they go up contagions the situation could become problematic, even if not in the same proportion as last year “. Finally, on the European scenario, Pregliasco raises the alarm: “If there had been no vaccines there would have been a total emergency. There is instead a proportion between the increase in cases and serious cases. But if the infections rise, how is it happened in Great Britain, the situation can become difficult. Not to mention the nations where there are few vaccinated, such as Eastern Europe “.
