“I believe that it is necessary to vaccinate even the smallest ones – underlines the expert – Please remind me that in Italy, since the beginning of the pandemic, 28 pediatric patients have died. And of these 13 were less than 10 years old. Distributed as follows: 4 under 3 years old, 4 from 3 to 5 years old, 5 from 6 to 10 years old. Furthermore, by vaccinating children we will avoid outbreaks even in elementary schools and therefore the use of distance learning. We will limit the circulation of the virus and the possibility of it infecting parents and grandparents. Both the Italian and American pediatric societies are in favor of vaccinating children ”.
