AstraZeneca second dose, Sileri: “Safe vaccine mix”

“In several countries around the world, including Canada and Germany, the mix of” anti-Covid “vaccines is already being made,” which is safe and there are no risks, if not a modest increase in minor adverse reactions “. This was stated by Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, guest of ‘Timeline’ on SkyTg24. “Switching vaccines would appear to give a better immune response. This modality can be back to normal.” Variant sequencing “Today against variants” of the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus “must run with second doses” of the vaccine. “But the first lesson is that we need to improve sequencing,” said Sileri, answering the question of what happened to the Italian Consortium for Variant Monitoring, announced at the end of January. “The funds have been allocated, but I am fighting to double them: the first budget requested was 5 million euros, but I will ask for a doubling”. Circular on AstraZeneca to over 60 “I believe that what De Luca is asking, further clarification, is right” remarked the Undersecretary of Health. “I say that the circular of the Ministry of Health must explain a little better what must also be done with the J&J vaccine. From that circular it is clear that for these vaccines the same discourse made for AstraZeneca should be valid. which this circular is disregarded or interpreted differently. This type of vaccine is used only for the over 60 “.
