Third dose vaccine, Hope: “Compulsory soon for doctors”

“Very soon” the third dose of the anti covid vaccine will be mandatory for doctors, health professionals and RSA personnel. Health Minister Roberto Speranza is certain of this, announcing it to the Republic. “Let’s hurry with the call to stop the fourth wave. The increase in infections is objective. What to do? Let’s say it’s like realizing that the water is rising. We don’t have time to waste. as this virus that goes fast has taught us “, explains the minister announcing that” we will start very soon with the obligation of a third dose to health professionals and those who work in the RSA. We will decide in the next few days. I am convinced and I think we will get there. We are worried – adds Speranza -, WHO Europe and other European countries are concerned. Let’s look at those close to us, at Austria which is there, one step away, with its nine million inhabitants and 12 thousand cases a day: it is as if there were 75,000 in Italy. In Italy an increase is already underway and in the coming weeks it is realistic that it will continue to grow. “But Speranza strongly believes in the measures taken by the Draghi government:” Scholz said that if he becomes Chancellor he will foresee the Green Pass for workplaces we like to talk about a model, but we certainly introduced that measure first, like the obligation for healthcare professionals just introduced in Great Britain “. “The numbers have a hard head – continues the minister -. In Germany there are 50,000 infections in 24 hours. In France 12 thousand cases, the Netherlands announces new measures. We have learned that contiguity between countries often anticipates a trend. We also know that the upcoming season will be complicated. And then, Italy cannot be extraneous to this dynamic. Our data is somewhat better than others because vaccination rates are higher. This gives us a small advantage. And then the prudence in issuing the measures. We let go of the brake later and never quite. In particular on one thing: the masks indoors. There is no doubt that they will stay. They have a relatively low social and economic cost, they are decisive. And they should also be worn outdoors, if there are crowds. It is a must, let’s not forget it. As for the hypothesis of new future generalized lockdowns, the season of the most radical measures cannot be compared to the current one, for the simple reason that at that time there was not 87% of the population vaccinated, and obviously there were no vaccines. But we have the regional color system ”. Regarding the third dose, even the under 40s, the minister says that “we will listen to the scientists’ evaluation and decide, but it is not on the agenda. Of course, it seems likely to me that in the future we can reach a further extension, but it is not for today nor for tomorrow. of this passage of the European drug agency – he says – But if it is authorized, then we will leave immediately. Locatelli explained it well: even before reducing the circulation of the virus, vaccinating a child means protecting him from severe cases that unfortunately also occur today. When the ok comes, we will organize with pediatricians and talk to families. But it would be a very serious mistake, on these issues on which science governs, for the debate to throw itself into the political arena “.
