CREAM – The vaccine against papilloma virus, the main cause of cervical cancer, is useful not only for women, but also for men: the infection, in fact, can affect men and cause anal or oropharyngeal tumors. Or the one against hepatitis B, which can cause liver cancer. These and other vaccinations were administered to staff in recent days in the hospital, as part of the dedicated global week. And to set a good example and encourage those who work in Asst to join the prevention campaign, the general director Alessandro Cominelli and the administrative director Giuseppe Ferrari also queued up, waiting for their turn.

«I too – highlighted Cominelli – have chosen to protect myself and make use of the main prevention weapon at our disposal. In the pandemic era, the vaccine revealed its essentiality, but it continues to be fundamental even now that we have returned to normality. Whether optional or mandatory, vaccines are an opportunity to take care of yourself, an opportunity to be seized at all ages and in any condition. They also serve to protect our loved ones with fragility. The only way to fight mistrust is to create culture and raise awareness. Our initiative promoted with the intention of focusing attention on the importance of vaccination goes in this direction – underlining -.
The vaccination and infectious disease surveillance operational unit, led by Edoardo Premoli, distributed a brochure to all the municipalities in the Crema area, to general practitioners and paediatricians. This is the protecttogether campaign.
