Compared to other European countries, Italy is among the nations with the lowest percentage of the unvaccinated population, equal to 16.1%. A percentage that, in Ukraine, is instead almost the opposite, reaching 63.8%. A fact, therefore, that is worrying in view of the refugee emergency that our country, like others in Europe, is called to face. With an appeal on the matter launched today by the Gimbe Foundation.

"The Ukrainian figure - explains President Gimbe, Nino Cartabellotta - should not be underestimated, given the dramatic situation, which will bring thousands of refugees to our country in the coming weeks".

"The government's plans to welcome these people - continues the president - must include the vaccination of the elderly and the frail from war zones, avoiding inequalities between regions".

"The health machine activated by the Region for the first assistance to Ukrainian refugees arriving in Veneto works", announced today Zaia, governor of one of the regions most exposed to the arrival of the population fleeing the war. "Yesterday evening , at the various buffer points, 211 people had presented themselves, of which 56 are a large group of children who arrived in Rubano in the Padua area ". "Among these people - reports Zaia - 10 positive for Covid were found and all the measures envisaged by the protocols with isolation were taken, as in the case of the 13 people housed in the Valdobbiadene facility in the Treviso area".
