November 14, 2021 "I want to make an appeal in favor of vaccination, the real difference is the vaccination rate. Our numbers are positive, 86% of the vaccinable population took the first dose and 84% completed the cycle , among the best numbers in Europe and worldwide. We must not be satisfied, we must insist because vaccination allows us a more solid shield to face the coming weeks ". This was stated by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, guest of Che tempo che fa, on Rai3.

"On Friday 18,500 first doses were made and for this I thank the Italians". "It is clear that those who do not get vaccinated do not help themselves, others and the country is not there it is doubtful but I also want to thank those who arrived late and were afraid and then in the end decided to get vaccinated ".

"Italy's choice at the moment is to speed up the recall of the anti Covid-19 vaccine". "Each vaccine is a shield in the face of difficult weeks ahead".

"For several weeks in Europe there has been a phase of worsening of the epidemiological picture, it was rather expected" due to the season, reports Speranza, "Italy's numbers are certainly lower than other important European countries that are deciding robust measures in these hours, but also in Italy there is a growth in the contagion that must lead us all to raise the level of attention ". From this point of view "a fundamental role is played by the people - recalls the minister - personal measures are decisive, the use of the mask is decisive, hand washing, distancing".

"The basic choice we made is that of accelerating boosters. We need everyone six months after completing the vaccination cycle to go and get the booster. This allows us to raise the level of protection".

"The numbers of Italy are lower than Holland or Austria or other countries, but here too there is a growth in contagion. We have to raise the level of attention. age group between 40 and 60 years and then there is the role of people, the measures are decisive: mask, distance and hand washing. I make a new appeal to vaccinations. The real difference is the vaccination rate. We must insist: each additional vaccine allows us to have a more solid shield than the weeks we have before us ".

"Italy has retained numerous precautionary measures. We have given ourselves rules of greater caution also for arrivals from abroad. Those who come from overseas must do the 10-day quarantine, we are still among the strictest. In Europe we have instead made a 'agreement that allows you to circulate with the green pass. The European choice, however, was made in the direction of protecting mobility ".

On the Green pass "at this moment we keep the existing rules. We will evaluate the evolution of the epidemiological picture, but the comparison with Austria makes no sense, the differences on the infections are marked. We will adapt our measures to the trend of the epidemiological curve, in the meantime we insist on the call for which we started from the fragile ".

"There is no doubt that those who do not get vaccinated do not help our country, but ours is a universalist system and I defend and share it: if a person is ill, he is cured".

This was stated by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, at Che Tempo che Fa on Rai3, answering a question about the measures implemented in Singapore where the unvaccinated will have to pay for any covid treatment.
