COVID: Emergency over but critical issues remain - Schillaci

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 9 - The COVID-19 pandemic emergency phase is over but critical issues remain to be solved, while vaccines are still important for the elderly and fragile, Health Minister Orazio Schillaci said Wednesday.
    "The pandemic has put health back at the center of the political agenda but also the economic and social one. Today, after the emergency phase, we must look beyond and work to solve structural problems that the emergency has brought to light", said Schillaci at the Merdiano Sanità Forum.
    "I want to recall the importance of continuing the vaccination campaign against Covid-19 and seasonal flu, especially to ensure the highest level of coverage in fragile and vulnerable people and I am thinking in particular of the elderly and those who suffer from multiple diseases". (ANSA).
