Flu vaccination: we started at the beginning of October, with a thousand doubts
“We are moving – said Sileri – to improve the supply of doses of the influenza vaccine and we will start the vaccination campaign even earlier. Unfortunately, there are fewer vaccinators than we would like, especially among the elderly, but this year I foresee a reversal of the trend and this is desirable because it will help the differential diagnosis of Covid. “
Influenza, vaccines offered by the public increase. But those of those who are not at risk are rare
Regarding the advance of the coronavirus pandemic in Italy, Sileri defines the situation as “not critical”, “There is a condition of growth in the cases of Covid but the hospitals are not under stress” – added the deputy minister – With the arrival of the cold season I think we will see a greater circulation of the virus but the National Health Service is able to deal with it. I doubt that we will have a second epidemic wave as we saw it in February-March, because we have learned to live with the virus ”.
“Distinguishing Covid and influenza is impossible without a swab. To do this, you must be vaccinated”
Yet living with the pandemic means finding the key to keeping it under control, especially with the arrival of the seasonal flu. “We need to make more tampons but with judgment: a few days ago I said that we should get to do 3-4 times the tampons today, but it does not mean doing it every day, it means having the necessary firepower when necessary,” he continued. Sileri – “For example, the flu will return and in January we could have 500,000 people infected with seasonal flu: in those weeks we will have to make a differential diagnosis and on certain days it will be necessary to remove many swabs”.
