Covid, Vaia: “Expand vaccination obligation, third dose after 5 months”

To combat the coronavirus in Italy, ” we must expand the vaccination obligation, if we do it I am sure we will have a peaceful Christmas ”. This was stated by the medical director of Inmi Spallanzani in Rome, Francesco Vaia, to ‘Stasera Italia’ on Rete4. “For example, I am for the compulsory vaccination of school staff”, he added and more generally “for the vaccination obligation of all people who have relationships with children”. “We are going to vaccinate as early as the fifth month for the third dose, we in Lazio will vaccinate from the fifth month and we will already vaccinate the police, that is, those who are in contact with the public,” Vaia added. And again: ” Let’s protect our children and get vaccinated. Parents must be vaccinated and those around the children must be vaccinated and create a negative bubble, also because now we do not know much about long covid in our children. ” ” When Ema and Aifa in their wisdom will evaluate ” the vaccine on children “we will evaluate how far we would have gotten to the pandemic,” he added. “If a child is dependent on his parents and grandparents who accompany him to school and goes from one vaccinated setting to another vaccinated environment, then protected environment, it should not get infected ”, he clarified.
