Green Pass: Galli, duration is not too long, healed should be evaluated individually
The duration of the Green pass set at nine months “is an apparent contradiction, but it is an understandable mediation. Meanwhile, nine months are the indication that immunity is not infinite, but must be renewed with reminders such as the third dose and then who knows.

The infectious disease specialist Massimo Galli says this in an interview with La Stampa. “The importance of getting vaccinated and rushing to get the third dose was underlined, but as a doctor I have to admit that some vaccinated people are not protected. Exceptions aside, it is above all the elderly and the frail to whom the recall was immediately proposed “. Then there is the discourse of the healed “There are robust data that show that in 14 months of observation the risk for them of reinfection is less than 3 per thousand. Five million Italians healed, plus a million who do not know they are cured, cannot bear the idea that their antibodies are worth nothing ”.
