Among other things, it was observed that in the territories where the popularity of non-conventional medicines is greater , vaccination participation is lower. And we, in Rimini, have many doctors who practice these medicines.

In a general population it would be an excellent For professionals, on the other hand, it hurts to see this 2% refusal: we would like to be 100% of members, because we have an ethical obligation as well as the civil obligation that everyone as citizens must have. we question and we will try to intervene at the level of information and training with the utmost effort “, concluded Grossi.
