Giani, vaccinate more, wait a few days to reopen schools
“I am a staunch patron of the school in attendance. Indispensable, absolutely advisable ”, but“ a few more days off would have allowed us to vaccinate a greater number of children and be even more ready against the virus ”. This was stated by the president of Tuscany, Eugenio Giani, in an interview with Corriere della Sera on the reopening of schools and vaccinations against Covid-19. Speaking of the latter, he added that the mandatory ones “for workers will be an excellent step forward, but they cannot be enough”, “the priority is no vax.
They are the real element of difficulty. In Tuscany there are 200 thousand. In percentage terms just over 6% of the population, but in practical terms they change. They force you to do 50 thousand more tampons and clog the system “. Regarding children, according to Giani it is “necessary to persuade parents who are uncertain or against.

Bertolaso, more checks in the classroom but priority to boosters for 12-16 year olds
“I talked to General Figliuolo because before all the discussions about the school, I believe that the booster is a priority for these kids. Because what we have understood so far about Omicron is that it breaks the vaccines. Especially if one has recently done so “. This was stated by the consultant of the vaccination campaign in the Lombardy Region, Guido Bertolaso, in an interview with La Stampa, adding: “We are still waiting to inoculate the booster to children between 12 and 16 years. Until a few weeks ago we had a very high incidence among 5-11 who are now protected. We are instead blocked for the next age cohort, that of 12-16 in fact. Which has a positive spike right now. I wonder what Aifa and Ema are waiting for to give us the authorization for the third dose “.
