Regarding the efficacy of vaccines, Rabini anticipated the results of the study underway between the ISS and the Spallanzani institute in Rome.

It emerged that “vaccination – said Rabini – even in the face of the new variants, reduces the risk of infection by 7 times compared to non-vaccinated people. Furthermore, in 96% of cases of infection the vaccinated are asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic”, that is with few symptoms.
