During an intervention in the “Buongiorno” program, on Sky TG24, Massimo Galli, primary specialist in infectious diseases at the Luigi Sacco Hospital in Milan, addressed the problems of the flu vaccine and the arrival of the coronavirus in the summer in previously affected regions . On the first point, the doctor explained that pharmacies complain of not finding the vaccine or having difficulties finding it. “I hope these problems are resolved quickly,” Galli said.
Influenza Vaccine for Risk Categories

Speaking of the categories that would assume greater risks in case of contracting the flu, by a weakened immune system or various diseases, the expert said that they should have the vaccine first and with an important availability. “We should have some coverage for children, while for the elderly it will reach the useful time limit, at least in Lombardy. I would prefer that for health workers, who absolutely must be vaccinated en masse, we had the vaccine availability a little earlier, but apparently this will not be the case, “explained Galli. In Italy, vaccination is highly recommended and is offered free of charge to all subjects who, in the event of contracting the flu, would be at increased risk of complications.
“Summer brought the coronavirus to Regions that had previously been little affected”
“This summer, unfortunately, the cards have been shuffled and the Regions that had been little affected and that had done the closure very well have seen infections that they did not have before. We will have to be very careful precisely in those Regions, “said Galli, speaking of the evolution of the Covid-19 emergency in Italy. “As far as our situation is concerned,” he added, “we are certainly better than France and Spain and we hope that the situation will not change, but it is a fact that we could have problems, so we must keep our attention. The next two to three weeks will be crucial for observation, containment and immediate action to limit outbreaks. “
