China News Service, February 20. According to the European Union News Agency, the Italian National Institute of Health issued a vaccination report on the 19th, stating that experiments showed that compared with those who had not been vaccinated, the third booster dose was vaccinated. The effective rate of preventing new coronavirus infection can reach 64%, and the effective rate in preventing severe new coronavirus can reach 93%.
On the evening of the 18th local time, the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) and the Italian Scientific and Technical Committee for Coronavirus Emergencies (CTS) have completed the preliminary review of the fourth booster dose for vulnerable groups after research and discussion at the meeting.
The meeting held that, according to the current epidemic situation, it is still necessary to vaccinate the elderly and infirm and those with chronic diseases and immunocompromised groups.
The opinion will be submitted to the Italian Ministry of Health for consideration.
The Italian Medicines Agency explained the opening of the fourth booster dose of the new coronavirus vaccine to healthy and vulnerable groups, explaining that for immunocompromised social groups, the fourth dose of the vaccine is equivalent to a booster dose for the general population to help maintain the immunity of healthy vulnerable groups at a higher level.
Although all the current data on the new crown epidemic is declining, it also indicates that the epidemic will rebound in the autumn, said Richardi, scientific adviser to the Italian Ministry of Health and director of the National Institute of Advanced Health.
The new coronavirus is a respiratory disease virus that spreads very quickly and easily.
To this end, a fourth booster dose of the vaccine for healthy vulnerable groups and medical professionals can prepare for the next wave of outbreaks in advance.
The Italian Ministry of Civil Protection reported 50,534 new confirmed cases of the new crown on the 19th and 252 deaths.
