Covid, Menichetti: “Politics address the issue of vaccine obligation over 50”

“The requirement of an anti-Covid vaccine is an issue that politics must quickly address in a calm way. I think it is time to stop crying about the fact that the vaccination campaign does not find correspondence in some groups”. Virologist Francesco Menichetti, head of infectious diseases at the hospital in Pisa, tells Adnkronos Salute. “If we want to preserve hospitals and intensive care – warns Menichetti – we must complete the vaccination in the over 50 and fragile age groups and those who do not get vaccinated must have a valid health reason. For those who then do not respond to the vaccine – remember the virologist – there is the theoretical alternative of administering monoclonals which are already ready antibodies that last a long time and are well protective “.
