Covid, Vaia: “We need to vaccinate hesitantly, it is misleading to talk about the third dose”

“Let’s go straight to the goal: let’s vaccinate hesitant and doubtful populations between the ages of 49 and 59. Talking about the third dose today is misleading, just as, in my opinion, it is misleading to talk about vaccinating children under the age of 12 because the balance would hinge entirely on the risk and little on the benefit “. This was stated in a video posted on Facebook by the health director of the National Institute for Infectious Diseases ‘Lazzaro Spallanzani’ in Rome, Francesco Vaia. “It is time today – Vaia relaunches – to focus more and more on the other strategic tool which are monoclonal antibodies. Attention: not alternative to the vaccine but supplementary to the vaccine and use them as well as therapy also as immunoprophylaxis”.
