“Cases of reinfection are still very rare”

Gianni Rezza: «Compared to the positives of Covid-19, we still have high incidences, with the Rt falling, and a series of tests that tend to decrease compared to recent weeks, but are still very high. “This was stated by the CEO of Prevention of the Ministry of Health during the press conference on the analysis of the epidemiological situation in Italy. “The death toll is still high: there are 785.”

Vaccinations

“Cases of reinfection have been reported but they are sporadic, it is a phenomenon that exists but seems very rare. The point is that the initial studies had shown a decrease in antibody levels over time and a tendency towards negativization, other later studies showed that the antibodies resist over time, but the results depended on the method used. So there are no definitive studies, but there seems to be an antibody response. ‘

«The news about vaccines is reassuring, but we cannot yet answer how long the vaccine-induced antibody response lasts, but even here a recall may be necessary, but all remains to be defined.

“Phase 4 of pharmacovigilance on anti-Covid vaccines is post-commercial authorization and will be carried out as for other vaccines”: said Gianni Rezza, at the press conference of the Ministry of Health on the analysis of the epidemiological situation.

Silvio Brusaferro

«It will be a forgotten Christmas, which we hope will be unique and we hope that it will last with respect to the history that we will live. This means getting organized by avoiding aggregations in the most decisive way possible. The next waves are not written in the stars but in the way we will behave. We must organize to avoid them. while the most fragile people risk more ». This was stated by the president of the Higher Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, at the press conference at the Ministry of Health.

“The way we look at Christmas depends on how the curve goes down and how fast it goes down.”

“We have a large mass of people who are infected every day and we have to go down significantly, otherwise it becomes very difficult to control the epidemic. Our goal is to move from the mitigation phase to the containment phase and this step requires a much smaller number of new cases on a daily basis. This was stated by the president of the Higher Institute of Health Silvio Brusaferro at the press conference at the Ministry of Health.
