“Infectious diseases – explains the extraordinary commissioner Giuseppe Cucci – are caused by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites, which can enter our body and cause various more or less serious pathologies. Thanks to the advancement of medicine and scientific research, many of these diseases are now predictable and preventable through vaccination. Vaccines are preparations containing parts or fragments of attenuated or inactivated pathogens, which are administered to our body to stimulate the production of antibodies and make the immune system capable of defending itself against a possible attack by the pathogen. Thanks to vaccination, many infectious diseases such as polio, measles, chickenpox, hepatitis B and many others have become increasingly rare and controlled. This demonstrates the importance of prevention and vaccination for public health, as it not only protects the vaccinated individual, but also the entire community, reducing the spread of the pathogen and the risk of epidemics. However, it is important to remember that vaccination is a responsible act towards not only one’s own health, but also the health of others, especially towards those who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons. For this reason, it is essential to continue to undergo the recommended vaccinations and to properly inform yourself about the benefits and safety of vaccines, to ensure effective and long-lasting protection against infectious diseases.”
