“We want to ensure that, in the hospital, the vaccine becomes more and more a tool of the clinical professional just like an antibiotic is. The vaccine must be an always present and accessible tool. We must facilitate vaccination pathways. First of all, we need to take more awareness of reality by starting to understand how many frail patients there are, who is treating them and how many are vaccinated”. So Danilo Cereda, manager of the Prevention organizational unit of the Directorate General for Welfare of the Lombardy region, on the occasion of the meeting “Vaccination pathways for fragile subjects: new perspectives for the Lombardy Region”, promoted by Aristea, with the unconditional support of GlaxoSmithKline, at the Asst Fatebenefratelli Sacco.
“Now we have started working on the issue of diabetes and we want to start investing on that but we must expand to all chronic-degenerative diseases – added Cereda -. It is important to invest in the logic of prevention and vaccination is the answer to many of these paths. Clinicians need to be helped to coordinate and work together by creating working groups that manage to unblock a series of slowed-down activities. For this purpose, the National Agency for the prevention and control of infectious diseases can help, “he concluded .
