While there is debate about a possible extension of the audience of the fourth dose of the anti-Covid vaccine to other categories and groups of the population, how would it be appropriate to move on to healthcare? “I would like to stop hearing about obligations, because obviously” now the situation is different and “last year we did not have such strong data in hand as we have today on the effectiveness of this vaccine and on the reduction of mortality and so on. It is clear that if there is one category that probably needs to be vaccinated “with the second booster” for the work it does, it is health workers “. Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Polyclinic in Genoa, explains this to time.news Salute.
“But personally – he reflects – I believe that the obligation should not only concern vaccination for Covid, but also the flu vaccination and a series of other vaccinations are essential for those who work in hospitals in contact with patients. So I believe that on this point. we need to make a generalized observation rather than focused on the Covid discourse “.
