Vaccines, known AstraZeneca risks. But the CTS said yes to “open days”
The emergency Coronavirus in Italy it continues unabated. The delta variant is of concern, considered seven times more contagious than the traditional virus. The obligation of the Green Pass, established by the government to access all workplaces, however, did not produce the expected acceleration on vaccinations. The AstraZeneca vaccine is back in topicality, thanks to an investigation by Report on Rai Tre – reads the Fatto Quotidiano – the AstraZeneca vaccine. In the European Union, another 200 million doses are expected until March, but they will be given away to developing countries. Young people from Italy and the EU are not advised to give AZ due to the risk of thrombotic events, however rare; the older ones no longer trust. And tonight Report, will cast a shadow on the management, last spring, of the Anglo-Swedish vaccine, which previously should not have been given to the elderly (because the over 55s were only 12.2% of the 24,000 volunteers in the pre-authorization trial. ) and then, after the alarm for thrombosis with platelet deficiency (thrombocytopenia), it was excluded for young people.
On April 7, 2021, – continues the Fact – after the suspension decided with other countries in March, also in Italy AZ was “recommended” only from 60 years upwards; in Great Britain first over 30 and then over 40, in Germany above 60. But still on May 12, when AZ stocks accumulated while Pfizer / Biontech and Moderna were missing, the Scientific Technical Committee authorized the Regions – Liguria and Sicily to hold “open days” with AstraZeneca for all over 18s “Volunteers.” The report cited the report of the European Medicines Agency Ema which reported just 1.1 “thrombotic events” linked to the vaccine out of 100,000 administrations against 8 deaths from Covid out of 100,000 people, which is correct in itself but – clarifies the Winton center for risk and communication of the University of Cambridge, Ema’s consultant – only for the 50/59 age group, which was not the one to focus attention on. Only on 11 June they will make the recommendation binding, after death on 10 of 18 year old from Liguria Camilla Canepa who now the experts of the prosecutor attribute to the vaccination (of 25 May).
