“Children between 5 and 11 must be vaccinated against Covid because “the infection, albeit in rare cases, can present itself in a serious form and children can end up in hospital, in intensive care, can develop multisystemic inflammatory syndrome and can therefore undergo complications”. Like this Antonella Viola, immunologist at the University of Padua, to the microphones of ‘A sheep’s day’ on Rai Radio 1. “Then there is the unknown factor of Long Covid – recalls the immunologist – of which we do not yet know what the consequences may be in the long term. So the advice is: when there is the possibility of facing a vaccination, vaccination is always better than the disease “.
“The anti-Covid vaccines, administered all over the world over the past ten months, have not only been perfectly tolerated by hundreds of millions of people, but have proved to be fundamental in protecting the vaccinated from the most serious consequences of the disease. because, in the light of these considerations, that of the imminent green light from the Italian government (after Ema and Aifa’s ok) to the vaccine for the under 12s should be taken as excellent news, able to complete the protection network over the entire population registry. Also because it would be really difficult to imagine that the FDA could have taken such a delicate decision with a light heart and without proofs validated by a thousand evidences for millions of American children “. Mauro Minelli, responsible for Southern Italy of the Foundation for Personalized Medicine.
“About the possible perplexities deriving from this passage, what I really cannot rationally understand – continues the immunologist – is the mistrust of the parents towards the anti-Covid vaccine, when all other vaccines are accepted regularly, from an early age. – he highlights – It is therefore difficult for me to rationally support the thought, albeit well founded, that those who oppose the anti-Covid vaccine today are the same ones who perhaps accept or have already accepted without problems a dozen vaccines for their children “.
