Vaccini, Sileri: “They are not and will not be mandatory for children”

“Vaccination” against Covid 19 “is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. And above all it is safe”. A possible vaccination obligation for access to school “is neither a study nor a thought. Vaccination between 12 and 15 years will be exactly like vaccination for adults: on a voluntary basis, strongly recommended”. Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri said this to ‘The Breakfast Club’ on Radio Capital, recalling that “vaccination between 12 and 15 years old should be available from today, hoping that today there is the Aifa ok and I don’t see because there shouldn’t be. ” Read also The undersecretary and doctor specified that it is “an important vaccination, because the circulation of the virus in younger subjects can determine a persistence of circulation and a persistence of the virus itself”. As anti Covid vaccines available, therefore, “we will have Pfizer between the ages of 12 and 15 and probably other vaccines as well. Moderna has already conducted population studies between the ages of 12 and 17 with results similar to those of Pfizer. And it is likely that, in in the near future, we will have other vaccines available “.” The data improves and will continue to improve. It is possible that there is a circulation of the virus in those who are not vaccinated, but are still younger subjects and are better resistant to possible infections. it could happen as in the United Kingdom, where the Indian variant is causing a very modest – for this we must not worry at all – an increase in infections. But positivity does not mean disease “, said Sileri. second dose of anti-Covid vaccine, but positivity does not mean disease. Vaccination guarantees that there is no severe form of the disease “.
