Because they need vaccinations around the clock
What and how to do about vaccinations and tracking. The intervention of Pierfilippo Marcoleoni, president of Unimpresa Sanità
Alongside a widespread vaccination campaign, which uses all the forces in the field even 24 hours a day, it is necessary to reflect on mass tracking through the use of all the techniques useful to implement the concept of the three T's (test, track, treat) . The application of all technologies is essential and cutting-edge tracking methods are required. It is also necessary to strengthen local medicine and involve all health centers and figures operating in the world of health. All this in order to speed up mass tracking, accompanied by an efficient organization of active surveillance of positive patients in this mass screening activity also with the application of latest generation telemedicine and remote monitoring systems that have proved useful. and reliable in managing the health crisis. And it is necessary to structurally complete the construction of post Covid hospitals and hotels or for the hospitalization of positive subjects not treated in hospital. An exemplary organization is essential to avoid the collapse of the health system in the coming months, solutions must be found by exploiting and strengthening technologies, tracing and territorial medicine.
Vaccines are on their way and will need to be distributed and inoculated as soon as possible. However, Covid and the problems of the health system will remain. Italian micro, small and medium-sized enterprises increasingly need certainties to resume working activities in safety and continuity. The vaccines are finally ready, they will be different and we hope they will be able to satisfy national and European requests as soon as possible and without delay. Herd immunity must be the urgent and necessary objective so that a safe economic recovery can occur as soon as possible, so an "extraordinary vaccination plan" is needed that involves all those who can speed up the vaccination campaign. The vaccine certainly has a saving vein, but we must not forget that a third wave, foreseeable as early as this month of January, will accompany a critical situation in intensive care and hospitals and will be potentially explosive because it will manifest itself together with the flu symptoms that could create anxiety and concern in the population that will turn to a troubled health system and in many ways unprepared to manage a double health alert.
Let's take into account, again, a worrying level of deaths and infections, hospitals above the alert threshold, mitigation measures that have not worked as expected, the peak flu alarm coming, a cure for Covid outside vaccine still non-existent and only announced steps forward by the scientific community.
