“We will have an updated vaccine in October, I believe we will go in the direction of an annual recall “. This was stated by Andrea Costa, Undersecretary of Health. “Fourth, fifth, sixth dose – he said -, we risk confusion and convey the wrong message. People who have been vaccinating against the flu for 20 years are not in their twentieth dose. It is an annual vaccine“.
If we talk about further doses, the risk, according to Costa, is “that the message will pass that the vaccine does not protect, but it is not”. Also “From the communicative point of view, citizens would understand better”If we talk about an annual booster instead of further doses.
“Summer without restrictions” – “I believe the conditions are in place – he told Rai Tg2 Italia – for a summer without restrictions. Obviously this does not mean not continuing to have prudence and a sense of responsibility that citizens have amply demonstrated in these two and a half years of the pandemic ”. Hence the appeal to make the third doses for those who have not completed the vaccination cycle and the fourth doses for the frail and the elderlybecause “if there is a resurgence of the virus they will be more protected”.
“We are facing a positive scenario – he continued – as shown by the pressure on hospitals and it is important to continue with ordinary activities because it also saves lives”. tgcom24.mediaset.it
