Vaccino Johnson & Johnson, Pregliasco: “Don’t panic, protection falls but there is”

“The data is that the protection” with the Johnson & Johnson anti-Covid vaccine “tends to drop more than the others”. “A second dose is important that at this point in Italy will be done in a heterologous way”, with mRna vaccines, virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, professor at the State University of Milan, told Adnkronos Salute after yesterday’s colleague Andrea Crisanti at ‘Piazzapulita’ on La7 he stated that the Janssen vaccine “after 2 months in fact no longer protects anything”. “It is not true – Pregliasco brakes – it protects less. It makes no sense to unjustly panic 1.5 million people when there is still protection”. Crisanti “has highlighted perhaps somewhat excessively what is the objective data of reduction, but not of disappearance” of the protective effect of the vaccine. “It goes down” and for this reason the second dose “is a recommendation and a suggestion. We will now see – concludes the expert – what will be the indications” of the Italian Medicines Agency “Aifa for those who did it less than 6 months ago “.
