Covid, “vaccinating children and adolescents immediately”: pediatricians appeal

“We have to vaccinate children and adolescents (from 0 to 18 years there are approximately 10 million in Italy) since they represent a reservoir of persistence of the virus, therefore a serious public health problem. The vaccinations allowed above the age of 12 must be accelerated immediately (about 4 and a half million children), awaiting the green light also for the age group from 5 to 11 years (made up of about 3 and a half million minors), which should arrive from the FDA at the end of September “. Annamaria Staiano, president of Sip, the Italian Society of Pediatrics, talks about it with Adnkronos, who among other things explains to Adnkronos: “The consequences of the contraction of the virus in this age group are generally mild but the results are not known. In the long term. And there have also been 30 deaths! How many children have died from adverse effects to the vaccine? None. Vaccinating them is essential for the resumption of school activity and their daily life “.
