The pandemic is raising its head. The situation is still calm, especially on the hospital front, but the parameters are worsening.
Especially on the contagion front, which yesterday after some time exceeded 4 thousand, also driven by the record of tampons due to the obligation of the Green pass in the workplace.
No big alarm but it is forbidden to let your guard down, in short. And you have to go back to running with vaccinations. Meanwhile, protecting the fragile with third doses that greatly strengthen the immune defense.
Hence the appeal of Roberto Speranza: “You can vaccinate with the third dose from the age of 60 onwards. Our invitation is therefore addressed to everyone, starting with health personnel, from RSA, but in general to all people who are over 60 years old for whom at least six months have passed since the completion of the cycle. It is a fundamental step to protect ourselves even better ”.
"No problem of stocks - specifies the Minister of Health -, the doses are there and we are able to guarantee everyone the third dose".
And we go, a decision not yet officially taken but which is now in the air, towards a third dose for all citizens. After the position taken by numerous experts in the medical and scientific fields, the Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri also spoke yesterday, also setting the stages.
"Priority will be given to those who made the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, who will need a booster soon," he explained.
Within the year, "the third dose will be administered for the elderly and healthcare personnel", then from January it will be the turn of "the rest of the population, staggering on the basis of when the first and second doses were administered".
Sileri also hopes that the choice on the third dose "will be shared by all of Europe, considering the boom in infections in some European countries", where together with cases "the risk of new variants spreading increases".
