Vaccines, third “probable” dose for Speranza

Anti-covid vaccines in Italy, the third “very probable” dose for Minister Roberto Speranza who yesterday – guest of Che tempo che fa – also spoke of the Indian variant, Green pass and indoor masks. “At this moment – explained the minister in terms of vaccinations and third booster – we do not have absolute certainties, but all our scientists tell us that it will be very likely that we will have to resort to a third dose as a necessary booster, possibly there may be changes to the vaccines for be able to better cover some variants. I am 42 years old, after June 3 I will also be able to have the vaccine. I have chosen to get vaccinated at my family doctor and I think it is right: we have to pass from a phase of extraordinary to a phase of ordinary management of this epidemic. Today we have to run and retrieve an extra vaccine, but if I think of a longer period we have to go back to ordinary management “, he said.

From the first indications, vaccines are in able to respond positively to this contagious variant: the vaccines are resistant “, he says, answering a question about the Indian variant, responsible for the increase in infections in Great Britain.
As for the Green pass, “it is an important weapon, a tool to promote mobility: it will be in both paper and digital format. It is already available in paper format, and you are already in a position to receive a vaccination certificate. The paper certificate can also be used after a negative swab. The transition to digital is the real challenge, it will allow us to achieve real interoperability with European countries. We must also go further: next week – said the minister – there is a meeting in Oxford between the ministers of health of the G7 countries, my proposal is that we go beyond the European limits. I am thinking of the USA, Canada, Japan. We will work to ensure that the green pass arrives in the simplest way possible: in paper where necessary, but also on your mobile phone. A very simple code will allow you to have better mobility “. And on indoor masks,” I believe – continued Speranza – that we should not be in a hurry to abandon these habits. ini. Let’s take it one step at a time. I think that indoors we have a significant time ahead in which we have to keep it. We must maintain caution and caution. The mask is not a huge price, in a transition phase we can afford an extra caution. When our experts tell us the conditions are right, we will remove it first in the open and then indoors, “he says, before the closing message.” I have always been considered the toughest one, the penalty taker. We must maintain this attitude of trust and prudence. The fundamental rules do not upset existence: mask and distance are compatible with a substantially regular and normal life. We must not forget the very difficult days we have passed “.
