“The Covid-19 vaccine is going through record time, I think we can be sure of achieving something probably in a short time and this comforts us.” This was stated by Alberto Villani, president of the Italian Pediatric Society (SIP) and member of the technical-scientific committee, during a press conference on Civil Protection in Rome. “Normally, he said, it takes at least two years to develop a vaccine, this time the times will certainly not be the same.”

Villani also wanted to take advantage of “the opportunity to reiterate some things. The first is that the vaccination route for each child can and should continue. I would say even more in this period.” “The other point is: let’s prepare for the fall. It is important that all those who have to be vaccinated against the flu do so – he stressed – The ministry is preparing the special circular. For the children, let’s remember. Why the hell? How this fall It will be important to get vaccinated, it is a guarantee for everyone and it must be done, “Villani concluded, adding that even in emergencies, the continuity of the pathways for children with chronic diseases remains guaranteed even in an emergency.
