Matteo Renzi, his wife Agnes positive for Covid after the vaccine

Agnese, Matteo Renzi’s wife, tested positive for Covid. This was announced by the former Prime Minister, who explained: “Like many Italian families, we have a quarantine problem”. The teacher, according to his role, had already been vaccinated, included in the 10 million doses that were administered in this first quarter of the vaccination campaign (see the video above).

In an interview with The air that pulls, La7 show hosted by Myrta Merlino, the senator of Italia Viva revealed how he spent the Easter holidays, away from his loved ones due to the Coronavirus. The first to contract the disease in the Renzi household was their son Emanuele, aged 18: the boy apparently did not have any alarming symptoms. Later, Agnese also tested positive, and had to undergo fiduciary isolation.

“My son and I went to the hotel at Easter, but we had no problems” – explained Renzi to La7 microphones – “My wife got the virus because the virus entered the house. I’m happy with her determination, she is ready to take lessons from home tomorrow ”. Therefore, even Agnes would not have manifested any particular health problems. As a teacher, he had already received the AstraZeneca vaccine: “But you can get Covid even after the vaccine” – concluded her husband.

It is in fact likely that Agnes only took the first dose – AstraZeneca serum has quite a long booster time. And for immunization to be complete, we have to wait inoculation of the second dose. Even in this case, however, it is possible to contract the virus: each organism responds differently to the vaccine, which in turn does not guarantee 100% effectiveness. Rather, studies conducted in recent months have shown that the vaccine eventually allows prepare the immune system to react against Covid, so that the patient develops only mild symptoms in case of contagion.

Matteo Renzi wanted therefore launch an appeal to viewers: “What I mean is: be careful and get vaccinated. Because the vaccine, even if it does not protect definitively, is needed ”. The former Prime Minister, unlike his wife, has not yet received his dose. But is taking all security measures to avoid contracting the disease: “I had a swab and, above all, I respected all the quarantine rules”.
