Children’s covid vaccine, Affinita (Moige): “Risks not clear, that’s why parents are afraid”

A possible communication campaign in the media to promote among Italians the importance of the anti-covid vaccination of children between the ages of 5 and 11 in view of the authorizations of the European and Italian drug agencies, Ema and Aifa, “must guarantee on mediates the bipartisan presence of experts from the scientific world both for and against the anti-covid vaccine to minors, so that they can talk about the risks and benefits. For example, a few days ago the WHO Director expressed strong doubts about vaccinating children “. The request comes from the Moige, the Italian Parents’ Movement which at the Adnkronos reaffirms its position: “We have always been for the freedom of choice and free vaccines. And freedom of choice must also be guaranteed through correct information”. What are you afraid of? “The risks of adverse and side effects are not clear. To this end we asked for the activation of active pharmacovigilance, but we found that there is no intention to do so. Furthermore, Minister Speranza, despite our continuous requests, refused. the confrontation with the parents “, says the general manager Antonio Affinita, noting that the skepticism about the vaccination of one’s children has nothing to do with being no vax:” We have co-founded Como (Confederation of organizations against meningitis) and we are were the first in Italy to ask for free and free vaccination against meningitis, when the ASL refused to grant it for free and parents had to shell out over 200 euros. Defining us as no vax, because we ask for freedom and awareness for a health act for our children, it’s both ridiculous and proven wrong. We send the definition back to the sender. “
