Covid vaccine, Crisanti: “Third dose to all or infections up in December”

Covid infections will go back to Italy if the third dose of vaccine is not given to everyone. This is the alarm that triggers Andrea Crisanti, director of the Microbiology department of the University of Padua. “We are in a situation where we will reach a balance, where the virus has a certain level of transmission and we can block it by vaccinating ourselves, with the third dose which I believe must be part of the vaccination process, and by maintaining certain precautions, such as the “use of masks in transport and in crowded public places. By maintaining this level of precaution I hope that we will reach a situation as far as possible from that of Great Britain”, he says during the program ‘Restart 264’ on Cusano Italia TV. From December-January the greater susceptibility of the infection will emerge “at the population level. Vaccinating with the third dose frail and elderly is correct, but it is not enough, because if we do not vaccinate everyone with the third dose we will soon have particularly important transmission levels “, explains. “At the moment the difference with Great Britain, in addition to the fact that they have abandoned all precautions, is due to the fact that we vaccinated later and therefore we are more protected”, explains Crisanti.
