Fourth dose, Ricciardi: “Yes to immunosuppressed after positive Israel experience”

Walter Ricciardi, councilor of the Roberto Speranza Ministry of Health, expresses a positive opinion on the green light of the technical scientific commission of the Italian drug agency Aifa for the fourth dose of anti-Covid vaccine for severely immunosuppressed patients, who have completed the primary course of immunization – made up for this category of two doses plus the additional one – reminding Adnkronos Salute that it “largely anticipated” this hypothesis “after the positive experience of Israel”. As for the hypothesis illustrated yesterday by the Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa, of extending the vaccination obligation against Covid-19 for the over 50 after June 15, the day on which the regulation that provides for it will expire, Ricciardi comments: “Our future safety it depends on vaccination coverage that must be further strengthened and on behavioral precautions also aided by the Green pass “.
