Athletes departing for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver will be vaccinated against the new flu. This was announced by the Deputy Health Ferruccio Fazio, stressing that the concern is to “ensure the representation of Italian. ‘Vaccine – he said – the athletes ranging in February at the Olympics and Paralympic Games in Vancouver, to ensure representation Italian. I want to emphasize – he added – that these athletes do not vaccinate because there are real risks to health but for social reasons.
“The deputy minister – said Gianni Petrucci, president of Cone, who attended the press conference at the ministry – was clear: we give priority to the Olympics. The rest then we’ll see. Fazio has indicated a level of priority and the world of sports is not the first place, so I made an appeal to our doctors not to make statements to the effect that leaving things as they are. ” The implicit reference was to the doctor for the National, Enrico Castellacci, who a few days ago he had asked Mr Fazio to include in the categories to be vaccinated immediately, even that of football players.
