The debate is open: vaccine yes, vaccine no? Where and when to do it? Where to get it back? Here are some answers to the questions that circulate in all families. The Veneto region aims for 75% coverage, also so as not to flood emergency rooms.
Who is eligible for the free vaccine?
Until now, the vaccine was free from the age of 65 and for people who fall into the risk categories for complications. For the 2020-2021 season, the free subscription has also been extended to those in the 60-64 range. Precisely because the risk is that flu symptoms can be mistaken for Covid symptoms, the vaccine is also strongly recommended for children in the 0-6 range. Doctors and nurses are under special observation: there is no obligation, but health workers, especially in contact with the elderly, are cordially invited to get vaccinated.
When to get vaccinated?
Aifa, the Italian Medicines Agency, recalls that the protection induced by the vaccine begins approximately two weeks after vaccination and lasts for a period of six or eight months and then decreases. So starting now.
Where do you get vaccinated?
In the offices of family doctors and pediatricians, in health establishments or in vaccination and prevention clinics and, in some cases, also by occupational doctors. Covid rules make organization very complicated. Pharmacists associations have raised the problem: to expedite the vaccine it could be done directly at the pharmacy. However, the Scientific Technical Committee clarified that vaccination should only be carried out in the presence of a doctor.
