Gabriele, 10, is in fourth grade and at the beginning of January received the second of two doses of the COVID 19 vaccine expected for his age. But today Gabriele was unable to go to school. Yesterday afternoon a classmate presented a fever and the swab confirmed the suspicion of SARS-Cov2 infection in the evening. Shortly before dinner, the communication from the school arrived: you need a buffer at time 0 (T0) and given the tight times, the whole class in DAD the next day.

In a few hours, about twenty families organize themselves to manage their children’s lessons remotely and to perform the required swab. Even if the children at school wear masks. And even children already vaccinated with two doses cannot return without the T0 buffer. If the swab to which the whole class undergoes does not show other positives, the school will reopen the doors and the children will return to the desks. Otherwise, distance learning will continue for 10 days. After 5 days, the protocol provides for a second swab for the whole class.

But let’s see what would have happened if Gabriele, 10 years old, had had a family partner, his mother or father, suffering from Covid 19. Gabriele, vaccinated with two doses for less than 120 days, would have gone to school, with the FPP2 mask. Then make a single swab after 10 days. In fact, close contacts of a positive, as per official indications, do not quarantine if they have two or three doses for less than 120 days, but must wear FPP2 respiratory protection devices for 10 days.

Moms reject Dad: “Doesn’t work with young children”

What if Gabriele had been a couple of years older? What if Gabriel was attending middle school instead of elementary school? Back then, Gabriele would not have missed a day of school today. The teaching would not have been discontinued, the family would not have had to organize quickly and, above all, Gabriele would have been with his peers. For those vaccinated and recovered for less than 120 days, the Dad takes the third case of positivity in class for 10 days. Up to one case, the class is in self-monitoring with the obligation of an Fp2 mask. Quarantine and Dad are expected in the second case of positivity only for unvaccinated companions and for those vaccinated or recovered for more than 120 days; for the others, face-to-face teaching is guaranteed with the obligation of FPP2. How is it possible? one might wonder. Gabriele who is 10 or 12 years old is always a child with a complete vaccination course for less than 120 days.
