Covid Gb, Clementi: “Contagion on the rise? A dose of vaccine is not enough”

Covid infections rising in Gb even if the dead remain low. “The moral” Massimo Clementi, director of the Laboratory of Microbiology and Virology of the San Raffaele hospital in Milan and professor at the Vita-Salute University explains to Adnkronos Health, is that “one dose of vaccine is not enough: it takes two, the complete cycle, for maximum protection “. “The majority of infected subjects are people who have received only the first dose. There are some infected even with two doses, but few – highlights Clementi – We remember that England had made a flag of the choice to vaccinate a lot with one dose. The British have repeatedly said that they have won the first battle against Covid and stopped the virus, managing to quickly vaccinate tens of millions of people with a first dose. Now it has been seen that when a more problematic variant of Sars-CoV-2 arrives “from the point of view of higher transmissibility,” like the Delta “arrived from India,” having a lower immunity, conferred by a single dose, is not enough. And in Gb they still have a good number of people vaccinated with a dose, even if they are continuing the immunization campaign in an extensive and massive way “.
