Third dose, Pregliasco: “Good vaccine recall at the end of the year”

The data on anti Covid vaccines “consolidate a reduction in the percentage of protection to 6 months so there is certainly a need for a third dose. I believe that the protection lasts 9-12 months. It is clear that, however, we know that there is a slow to degrade and especially on the most fragile “. Thus the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, professor at the State University of Milan, commenting to Adnkronos Salute on the hypothesis of a recall of the anti-Covid vaccine starting from the end of the year. After all, Pregliasco, first among those vaccinated on December 27, 2020 on the V-day, does not hide, even for himself as well as for many of his colleagues, “a certain anguish” now in coming into contact with infected people. “After a phase of tranquility – he says – that we had acquired, there was a certain loss of serenity that begins to be felt”. “I believe that this timing – concludes the virologist – can give us the opportunity to conclude the first round, and then dedicate ourselves again to the organizational aspect of the calls that I do not think will be made in the hubs”.
