Covid vaccine, Sileri: “Appropriate new indications, I would not do AstraZeneca for under 40”

“I believe that new indications on vaccines are in order. AstraZeneca’s vaccine is extremely safe for the age group over 60, it is very safe for the age group between 50 and 60, but under 40 for women, the mRna vaccine is certainly more suitable. Especially now that the incidence of the virus is much lower, the gap between risks and benefits under the age of 40 is narrowing “. The Undersecretary of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, said this in an interview with Fanpage.it talking about AstraZeneca and the administration to the youngest. “I believe that new indications are appropriate – he continues – at 49 I do the vaccine and I do Johnson & Johnson. However, I would leave the evaluations to the scientists”. So Sileri on the possibility of vaccinating with two different vaccines replied: “At the moment there are studies that are evaluating the cross-match from one vaccine to another. Even if for now the best indication is to do the same identical vaccine. Among other things, the rare adverse cases that were observed mainly, if not in totality, occurred only after the first dose “.
