Vaccinations on vacation, Zaia: “Right to give tourists a second dose”

Second dose of Covid vaccine on vacation. To push in this direction Luca Zaia who, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, responds to yesterday’s words of Francesco Paolo Figliuolo with whom the general reiterated that the holidays must be planned according to the appointment with the vaccine. “I don’t think there is the one who comes on vacation to get the second dose of the vaccine. But if a tourist has to do it, it is right that we do it. And not only to Italians: if they authorize us, also to foreigners ”, affirms the president of Veneto who says he is“ convinced that tourists should be welcomed with open arms. We must protect and pamper them in all ways. The fact that there are important bookings means that there is a backlog of desire for Bel Paese that we do not want to ignore. How many times have we talked about safe holidays? Time to prove it. Let us remember that loyal tourists come to us, who feel at home when they return to our country. A shame to lose this relationship ”. According to Zaia, vaccinations on vacation do not risk compromising the vaccination machine which now travels at full speed: “A certificate is issued that shows the batch of the vaccine and then the tourist can register the vaccination at home. If anything, we must stop entrusting the paperwork to the simple business complications office. We must evolve from this culture of ours: if three friends play broomstick one day, the next day you can find them at the notary to make the statute of those who play broomstick. And as an approach, we always start from the list of problems ”. As for the latest Draghi decree, “the feeling is a bit that of those who had looked at the weather – states the Northern League governor – since it was bad, and then instead a bit of sun came out. Eventually, we brought home some signals to the community that are important. Not enough, maybe, but it helps. It seems strange to me – he adds – that this curfew thing remains standing, it seems to me that it has become a totem. I say: the phase of living with the virus has begun. In this context, a discussion between aperturists and closurists is wrong: for me the curfew no longer makes sense to exist. Not because saying it is a fashion, but because now we see the gatherings in the workplace, on public transport, at school … Much more than in the outdoors in the evening. With serious contraindications “. “If the origin of the disease is the transmission of the virus – continues Zaia – it is undeniable that there are many more gatherings during the day than at night. The problem is that those who still have to book their holidays hear this word, curfew … I I think we must give a signal of pacification. And then the vaccines are working, where we vaccinated the virus no longer takes root. The risk was for men over 65 and women over 75. We vaccinated these people and We have seen the result, both on mortality and on hospital admissions. The masks – he adds – it is prudent to put them on. The mask is like an umbrella: you can use it when you need it. you don’t wear it, but if there are unvaccinated people you put it on. You always wear it and wear it when needed with a principle of great prudence “.
