Liguria. “I am very happy to have been vaccinated and I am absolutely calm. Getting vaccinated today should be a message to those who are skeptical. My fear is that there are people who are vaccinated in the first phase and are convinced, and they are the ones who answered the questionnaires, but after the phase of the most exposed people there will be others ”.
There is also Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino hospital, among the first vaccinated against Covid-19. One of the 320 doses of the drug Pfizer that arrived from the La Spezia military arsenal was inoculated into the left arm of the virologist, who reaffirms the importance of this campaign.

“We need to vaccinate the entire health system – continues Bassetti – if a small part is discovered, it will be a Achilles heel for our system. Whoever is here today must give a message to those who doubt ”. Was it correct to make the vaccine mandatory for healthcare workers? “Yes, I have said it many times, first you had to make a law. At this point we will see at the national level what the coverage will have been at the end of February ”, he adds.
“At that time, action will have to be taken. I think that in a hospital, a health center, a RSA should only be able to enter those who have been vaccinated. Those who have not received the vaccine do not have the right to work in the health system. It is not only a problem for him, but also for the people he cares for. We have also seen it here in San Martino, many times healthcare workers have brought the infection to people. We need to have 100% coverage, there is no 80-85%. Of the health workers, all must be vaccinated ”.
And who has already had Covid, should be vaccinated? “Of course – says Bassetti – the data tells us that immunity is maintained up to 8 months but we still have to get vaccinated because in any case it gives a major blow to the immune system much bigger and stronger than a natural infection can. “.
THE FIRST LIVE VACCINES
The director of Infectious Diseases, a department symbol of the battle against Covid and one of the most stressed for months, says: “Today we celebrate a fundamental moment for science and research that in 10 months has managed to make two vaccines, others in the coming months. This is the triumph of science and it is important to highlight it. We hope that now the revenge against the virus begins, that from today we can start again ”.
“I hope that 2021 will be a little less heavy for those who have had to face the problem of the disease. Today a new stage begins. Vaccination is an act of love towards ourselves, towards the people we love and the society in which we live ”, concludes Bassetti.
