“In an Apulian RSA some patients became infected after the two doses of the vaccine but none became seriously ill. There was just someone with some fever line. With these vaccines we cannot speak of herd immunity; they protect against death but do not protect 100 percent from infection ”. The councilor for health said, Pierluigi Lopalco during a direct Instagram organized to take stock of the Covid emergency and the vaccination campaign in Puglia.
In the past few hours, in the meantime, Lopalco and the director of the Health Policies department, Vito Montanaro they communicated that after a request from the regional part, the representatives of the general practitioners jointly, in the secretariat office, agreed to start the definition of the organizational part of the anti-covid vaccination campaign. The involvement of general medicine will start with the categories following phase 1 of the national vaccination plan, which includes patients in home care (ADI and ADP). Furthermore, the Region requested an active collaboration for the definition of the administration of vaccines for school staff. The technical part has granted the maximum availability, on a voluntary basis, of all the staff of the sector, also providing for the participation of the doctors of continuity of assistance. These decisions will be ratified in the Regional Permanent Committee “.
Vaccini, Campo: “Apulian health workers are obliged to get vaccinated. Appropriate choice of the Regional Council “
Statement by the President of the Environment Commission Paolo Campo. “Apulian health workers will be obliged to get vaccinated. This was decided by the Regional Council by approving a proposal that integrates the law on the obligation to vaccinate the same operators approved in the previous council.
I voted in favor of the draft law of the Democratic Party group and I am convinced of its opportunity for several reasons: to extend as far as possible the measures to prevent contagion in the most at-risk environment, namely hospitals; strengthen trust in science; support the efficient organization of the emergency health response. Failure to vaccinate, in fact, would prevent the application of ‘objectors’ to the departments where there is a risk of contracting Covid-19, making health care activities very difficult. An obligation, therefore, which is not an imposition on those who have refused to be vaccinated, but rather an instrument of prophylaxis to protect the health of the entire community.
Having acted in extension of the law already approved and examined by the Constitutional Court, I believe, protects us from the feared challenge of the rule that motivated the exit of the minority councilors. I trust in the broad sharing of the action of the regional council by the health workers committed to tackling the pandemic, to whom our daily thanks go for the sacrifices made ”.
