by admin

ROME. “We are equipped for the third dose, although scientists call it a booster and it is not yet known if it is really necessary. Together with the Ministry of Health we have joined Europe to take large quantities that give us the certainty of covering all needs and also having a supply. On how to do this, we must leave the logic of the hubs and make the most of the skills of general practitioners, pharmacists and pediatricians of free choice because we will have to go into a structural logic. We are organized to appeal to the entire population ». This was stated by the extraordinary commissioner for the Covid emergency, General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, guest of Tg2Pos.

On the possible production of vaccines in Italy: «I discussed these issues with Minister Giorgetti. As for the Italian vaccine, ReiThera, the transition from the second to the third and final phase of experimentation is awaited. We await the formalization and after the third phase they will be able to produce within 5-6 months. We are also negotiating with the Ministry of Economic Development for the production of RNA vaccines, to produce them under license in Italy, discussions are well underway ».

To those who ask him about the possibility of establishing a pass for restaurants and transport, as in France, the general agreed with Macron “on the fact that vaccination is one of the keys to returning to normalcy. To convince the last diehards, using the green pass for this type of event could be a good solution. It could also be a boost for vaccination ». To date, he concluded, “we have 58 million inoculations, that means 24 million and 200 thousand Italians fully vaccinated, we are around 45%. It is an important fact but it is not enough, now we have to intercept the undecided ».
