Protecting the fragile is not enough. And here it is not a question of currents of thought. In fact, the choice of Italy, Europe, the United States, Canada is that of mitigation, to regulate the number of contacts in such a way as to reduce the speed with which new cases of Covid arise “. The virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco says his in the debate between those who define it as impossible and wrong to prevent the virus from running and those who, like the consultant of the Minister of Health Walter Ricciardi himself, highlight the need to contain the surge in infections as much as possible.

“Really it has also been seen by China and North Korea that the ‘zero’ option is impossible – explains the professor at the University of Milan to time.news Salute – so this coexistence and this circulation of the virus must be managed and It is not enough to protect only the frail because the opportunities for contact with young people who become infected can really lead to trouble “.

I believe the fourth mandatory dose is still a divisive element but I believe it is essential to recommend the second anti-Covid vaccine booster for 60-year-olds and for all health professionals.precisely to guarantee protection and operation “also of the system” in this phase of data increase “of Sars-CoV-2 in Italy.” It is welcome if there were mandatory “says Pregliasco.
