On the third dose of the Covid vaccine, “we have to accelerate, for now we are slow. Don’t say it will just be done, hundreds of thousands of third doses have to be done a day. We have to go back to the impressive numbers we had before, I’m talking about 1-2 million third doses per week and arrive within the first 15 days of December to have all the over 60s and all the frail ones covered with third doses and then we’ll think about the others “. So to Adnkronos Salute Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious disease department of the San Martino hospital in Genoa, commenting on the ISS data on the reduction of the effectiveness of the anti Covid vaccine after 6 months.
Bassetti notes that “the 50% drop in vaccine efficacy after 6 months recorded by the ISS occurs in those who are frail and in those over 60, for everyone else I am not so sure that there is a decline after 6 months. Perhaps for the over 50s, but an important response is still maintained for serious illness “.
