AstraZeneca, Bassetti: “Cts and Aifa at this point the wick”

“On the AstraZeneca vaccine and in general on viral vector vaccines, a clear and definitive position by Aifa and the CTS is needed. Decide from tomorrow whether the AstraZeneca vaccine should no longer be used and gear up to make only mRna vaccines. limit it to certain ages, at this point it should be stopped at all ages, apologizing to the Italians for the incorrect and unscientific communication on this vaccine. Therefore, focus solely on the vaccines of Pfizer, Moderna and then on CureVac. . Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic at the Policlinico San Martino hospital reiterates this on Facebook. “Public opinion is angry about the AstraZeneca vaccine, the institutions cannot leave the doctors and the Regions alone to defend them”, he adds. “The British scientific data and Ema tell us that the AstraZeneca vaccine can be used in all ages. Enough with the ballet of communications and recommendations that have changed the age groups for this vaccine, with enormous communication errors both of the ‘Medicines Agency and the Ministry of Health “, concludes Bassetti.
