has reached the goal of 25 thousand immunizations
“The Secretariat of State for Health and Social Security and the Institute for Social Security express satisfaction for the excellent result of the anti-Covid vaccination campaign which has reached the ambitious goal of the 25 thousand people who have completed the primary immunization course against SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The appointment for the Vaccination Plan was therefore reached, but above all the San Marino population demonstrated once again that they face the challenges in the best way to win the personal and collective health of the community.
The Secretariat of State for Health and the ISS Executive Committee, also on behalf of all health, social-health and administrative personnel, thank all citizens who have joined the vaccination campaign, health workers and protection volunteers. If our country has remained open and cohesive in these pandemic months, it is thanks to the efforts of all those who have contributed to achieving this result.
Obviously, the guard cannot yet be received, the virus is still circulating and the ISS is already starting the administration of the booster dose. It is therefore essential to continue with the vaccination campaign, first of all protecting the most vulnerable people and health workers.
The Vaccines Commission of the Institute for Social Security – in light of the scientific evidence and authorizations already issued by the FDA, EMA and AIFA – as the authorities of various countries, including Italy, have already done, in the session of Tuesday 19 October authorized the administration of the additional dose of vaccines for frail people. The additional dose, also called “booster”, is necessary to ensure better and more effective production of the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been authorized at the time for people aged 85 or over, for guests of the RSA alla Fiorina, for frail patients indicated by specialist doctors and for healthcare personnel.
Currently, the additional dose will only be given to those who have completed immunization with the Comirnaty vaccine (Pfizer / BioNTech). For this additional vaccination, the mRNA vaccine will be used and if at least 6 months have elapsed since the last administration of the Covid vaccine.
Roberto Ciavatta (State Secretary for Health and Social Security): “I can only thank all the health and social health personnel, especially the hospital staff who, thanks to their availability and professionalism, have allowed the threshold of 1000 daily administrations to occur on several occasions, as well as the citizens of the Republic of San Marino, for the achievement of this important milestone. Our Republic can boast before the whole world that it has achieved community immunity among the first countries in the world. I cannot fail to remind myself that the fight against Covid-19 is not over: after an important achievement to strengthen, there is now a need for our defenses for a return of the virus that is reappearing and thus avoiding new restrictive measures, not only for our economic activities, but above all for the well-being of our lives. I therefore urge citizens to inform themselves as much as possible on official and scientific sources on what measures will be taken to safeguard everyone’s health. ”
