(Adnkronos) - La vaccinazione antinfluenzale, raccomandata dal ministero della Salute per le categorie target, come anziani over 60, bambini e persone con patologie croniche, richiede l’impiego di vaccini specificamente indicati e raccomandati per ciascuno. Anche su questo tema si sono confrontati gli esperti riuniti al Congresso nazionale della Società italiana di igiene e sanità pubblica (Siti), che si è recentemente svolto a Palermo, con particolare attenzione alle strategie per recuperare le coperture in calo.

00:00The anti-influenza vaccination recommended by the Ministry of Health for the target categories as elderly over 60, children and people with chronic pathologies requires the use of specifically indicated and recommended vaccines for each.
00:16Also on this topic, experts met at the National Congress of the Italian Society of Hygiene and Public Health, which was recently held in Palermo, with particular attention to the strategies for recovering coverage in the fall.
00:28The field of vaccinations is a field in continuous movement, in continuous dynamism, that's why innovation is fundamental, because we are now renewing with the new National Plan of Vaccine Prevention 23-25, which has the function of being dynamic, that of being able to update the calendar of immunizations, of vaccinations, every year, based on new products or the new target populations that are being added.
00:54The field of influenza is fundamental, we are in the opening of the annual vaccination campaign and all the regions are organizing to be able to provide, to be able to give the possibility of access to a fundamental right of all citizens, which is to protect themselves from a seasonal disease such as influenza, which is a disease other than banal, on the contrary, it is a challenging disease from the individual point of view, from the social point of view.
01:20It is clear that we must try to incentivize this right to protection from influenza, having and using the appropriate products.
01:31Anti-influenza vaccines, patented as to be circulated by the Ministry, have now been highly recommended for people who have an immune system that is no longer able to work at its best.
01:40They are for the elderly, but also for all people who are not elderly and who suffer from a chronic disease.
01:46The categories of fragile patients are numerous, they are all those people who have diseases that, on the one hand, can cause immunodepression, immunocompromission in itself and, on the other hand, this immunocompromission can be caused by therapies that must be done following the presence of these pathologies.
02:11Specifically, there are certainly all people with respiratory pathologies, with cardiovascular pathologies, with chronic pathologies, for example, of the kidney and therefore chronic nephropathy and oncological patients, but also all people who are not elderly but suffer from a chronic pathology.
02:35Specifically, people with cardiovascular pathologies can have very serious reactions, especially a series of physiopathological mechanisms as a reaction to influenza.
02:52And this is why the patented vaccines are recommended for these subjects, even if they are younger, but with an immune system and with a basic pathology that is very responsive, in some way, in a negative way to the influenza virus.
03:15Finally, to improve the not yet optimal coverage, specialists suggest solutions.
03:20Creating a network of will at the territorial level, in the vaccination centers, with the doctors of general medicine, with the pediatrics of free choice.
03:28We have a tool that is being configured in a decisive way, which is the national and regional vaccine.
03:36Let's use it, let's use it to understand who has not been vaccinated, let's use the active call and let's go from a prevention of waiting to a prevention of initiative.
