Vaccine covid, Son: “Get informed, nobody wants to force”

“We are 41 million Italians vaccinated, we are about 76% over 12. We await the approval of the CTS for the third dose to health professionals, over 80 and RSA guests. To those who are suspicious of the vaccine, I say: get informed, nobody wants to oblige “. General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, extraordinary emergency commissioner, expressed himself in this way during the visit to the vaccination hub of Villorba, in Veneto. “We have seen an increase in vaccine bookings, we will see if this trend consolidates. I would like to appeal to those who are a little suspicious and wait: get informed, ask doctors and nurses, to those in hospitals who see the suffering for the covid. We have had over 130 thousand deaths from covid and there are people who bear the signs of long covid, I have friends who go up a flight of stairs and are out of breath. I tell you to inform yourselves and make a free choice, nobody wants to force “, adds Figliuolo. Read also “It is good for everyone to get informed. Vaccinating is a civic and moral duty, as President Mattarella says. We must save those around us, we cannot be selfish. In this, our young people have given us a great lesson: in the 20-29 age group in a very short time we had the greatest number of members, young people ran en masse to get vaccinated “, he continues. “Today the third doses start throughout Italy, we are talking about additional doses for the so-called immunocompromised, people with a compromised immune system”, he highlights. “As for the further indications for the booster doses necessary for those who need the booster – such as our health workers, the over 80s or RSA guests – I spoke to Minister Speranza. In the early days of the week there will be an ad hoc meeting of the CTS and the indications will arrive: the machine is ready, the doses are there. As soon as the Cts gives the green light, we will start with the booster doses. The scientific community is quite compact, it tells us that for these categories “the booster dose” is necessary. As for other categories, I refer to science “. Where can the vaccination campaign go? “It depends on the good will, the organization is there. The vaccine has proved to be valid, the more we are vaccinated and the more we can continue with social life”.
