The decision of the technicians pending the guidelines of the ministry. A new assessment will serve to define the operators most at risk

The population that will receive, again on a voluntary basis, the additional dose of vaccine to strengthen the immune defenses, which in some individuals may have decreased despite the double initial cycle, is expanding. After patients with immunosuppression
clinically relevant (due to neoplasms, organ transplants, immunosuppressive therapies) is indicated for people with over 80 years old and ai guests of assisted healthcare residences, the RSA. The decision was made by Technical-scientific committee coordinated by Franco Locatelli. In the order of priorities, the sanitary workers follow closely, starting with those who have a health frailty linked to chronic diseasesand, for example the diabetes or hyperte
nsion.

The evaluation

likely to follow a deepening in order to identify the operators for whom the recall is more urgent also due to the type of service performed within the structures, which can be particularly risky if in contact with patients in critical wards. an assessment that is keeping scientific bodies all over the world busy, with opinions that are not always univocal.
In the United States the FDA agency is not in favor of giving the booster indiscriminately to all health professionals as coverage of the normal cycle may be sufficient for most of them. On the contrary, the CDC American, another very authoritative body, recommends reinforcement to doctors and nurses over the age of 60. it is above all an organizational problem as at this stage in Western countries, including Italy, there is a wide availability of ampoules. The location of the Cts it follows that expressed in recent days also by the drug agency Aifa. The discussion is keeping all the world‘s scientific bodies busy. The call, called a booster, it will be done using exclusively the messenger RNA, Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, companies that have conducted specific studies on the advantage of additional inoculation. A circular from the Ministry of Health will clarify in more detail who are the people to call. The commissioner structure, headed by the general Son, will reorganize the work of the vaccination centers to implement this new phase which requires further efforts. IT systems need to be updated and it is necessary to communicate the date from which it will be possible to start the administration throughout the national territory. Taking into account that about three million over 50s have yet to start the immunization process from scratch.

They are naturally fragile people, not only because of their age but also because they are very frequent in this phase of life the overlap of more than one chronic pathology which, in the event of contagion, would expose patients to a very high risk of developing a severe and often fatal form of Covid 19. in this segment of the population, even with three or four pre-existing diseases, that the greatest number of victims of the pandemic is counted.

In the RSA

In assisted health residences are elderly hospitalized aged even less than 80 years, but still fragile even if they are in their seventies, otherwise they would not need the support of these structures. Moreover, the fact of finding themselves in a community exposes them to the threat of being infected from the virus. the memory of the many deaths that occurred in the first phase of the epidemic in the RSA is dramatic. Now the situation is very different thanks to the safety of the residences, but the elderly need special protection.

It boost

The third dose has the function of amplifying in maximal conditions (booster) the immune response triggered with the first dose (primary response) and stimulated with the second dose (secondary response). They generate cos in addition to one high antibody barrier against the virus many defense cells ready to react to a possible encounter with Sars-CoV-2 ea protect us from infection and disease even after some time from primary immunization.
