The start of the vaccination campaign does not mean that our behavior will change with regard to protection against the virus: for all of 2021 the measures will remain the same as now, from physical distancing to masks, to hygiene of the hands. But with vaccines we will begin to have fewer deaths and fewer sick people and this reassures everyone ”. Walter Ricciardi, advisor to Health Minister Roberto Speranza and professor of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine at Cattolica, told ANSA. We must follow a double precaution: get vaccinated and follow the appropriate rules of conduct ”.

Hippolytus, the death rate is three times that of the flu – “The death rate from Covid is three times higher than the flu, we have twice the number of hospitalizations in intensive care and although the flu can be controlled at home, for Covid we needed hospitalization which in benign forms was twice the flu” . This was stated by the scientific director of Spallanzani Giuseppe Ippolito during the webinar on the “Anti Covid Vaccine Plan in Lazio”. “The speed with which this disease has spread parallels the speed with which the institutions dealt with the emergency. Lazio has done a very good job.” “Despite the vaccination, we cannot think that we will return to the systems as before. The virus will keep us company until the first quarter of 2022. Those levels of collection are no longer possible.” Thus, the scientific director of Spallanzani in Rome, Giuseppe Ippolito, speaking in a webinar about the “Anti-Covid Vaccine Plan in Lazio”.
