AstraZeneca and young people, Sileri: “No under 30, I would not recommend it to women under 50”

“In my opinion under the age of 30” the anti Covid AstraZeneca vaccine “should not be used, especially for women under 50 I would not recommend it, but it is Ema and Aifa who must evaluate this possible restriction”. To reiterate his cautionary position on the AstraZeneca vaccine to the youngest is the Undersecretary of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, who spoke to the microphones of the broadcast ‘Italy has awakened’ on Radio Cusano Campus. “The doubts arise all the more today that the circulation and the weekly incidence of the virus have dropped drastically – says Sileri -. It is clear that if a vaccine has given the suspicion of some complication, especially in younger people, the fork of the risk-benefit for these subjects is reduced. And therefore it is likely that for non-mRna vaccines there may be a revision of the indications on age, using greater caution today that the circulation of the virus is much lower “. “I’m booked at the pharmacy and I’ll do the J&J, but I’m over 40 and I’m not a woman so I can be pretty sure, but – the undersecretary continues – if I had a 30-year-old friend I would recommend an mRna vaccine”.
