Vaccini, Pregliasco replies to Salvini: “Without risk for everyone”

In the battle against Covid 19 in Italy, “vaccination” coverage for all age groups is “really important, in light of a risk that exists for everyone. Even in the young” and in the very young, considering that “1 % of them still have complications. It won’t be a lot, but some suffer. ” Thus the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, professor at the State University of Milan, comments on the words of the leader of the League Matteo Salvini to ‘Studio 24’ on RaiNews24, according to whom “the goal is to guarantee the vaccine to those over 70 years old, without chasing, fining and punishing those who are 20 and 30 years old, who have the right to return to life “. The doctor reiterates that the “usefulness” of the vaccine “exists, transversal” at every age, and that the coverage must be “as wide as possible”. “It is true that there is a direct link” between Sars-CoV-2 infection and a very serious probability of disease as we age “, the expert said,” but vaccination is useful for everyone “in with a view to “reducing the spread of this virus”. And then “there is the need” to guarantee “continuous schooling. Because in the autumn, if things get a little bad – warns the virologist – it could happen as it happened at the end of last school year, with the open school, but classes blocked by outbreaks “.
