November 13, 2021 "The drop in vaccination protection after 6 months must not cause alarms. It is a signal that also came from the United Kingdom. Now we must focus on third doses to immediately protect the most fragile against the blow of the tail of the pandemic".

Virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, professor at the University of Milan, says this to Adnkronos Health, commenting on the ISS data on the reduction of the effectiveness of the anti-Covid vaccine after 6 months.

"The effectiveness of the vaccine has allowed us to reopen and stay around - warns Pregliasco - now we must work to speed up the third doses. But I also want to remember how we must not forget the 'new etiquette' we have learned in recent months: mask indoors, avoid crowds and hand washing. These virtuous behaviors should not be abandoned ".
