Covid, doctors proposal: “Ask those who access NHS if they are vaccinated”

Many hesitants have prejudices or fear towards vaccines, or they do not want to waste time or there are those who believe that once the herd immunity has been achieved there is no need to vaccinate. : ask those who access the National Health Service (NHS) if they have had an anti-Covid vaccination and if not, try to convince them and persuade them about the need “. This was stated to Adnkronos Salute by the president of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli. Ring’s proposal wants to give a last chance to those who are not yet vaccinated, over 3.5 million over 50s according to the latest report from the Gimbe Foundation, while on the vaccination obligation “we are still waiting a few months to see the epidemiological trend and the pressure on hospitals “, explains Anelli. The real issue today according to the president of Fnomceo” the dramatic situation of the no-Covid patients who have a series of limitations and this is the real problem, we should use all resources – he warns – to recover their needs (exams, operations, screening) and return to having the capacity for early intervention that has led to being among the longest-lived countries in the world “.
