Johnson & Johnson vaccine, “restrictions for under 60”

Not just AstraZeneca, the under-60 restrictions also apply to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. To clarify this is the Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, to the microphones of the program ‘The entrepreneur and the others’ on Cusano Italia Tv. “Viral vector vaccines – explained Sileri -, especially AstraZeneca, in the younger age groups have showed limitations that are linked to a complication that, although very rare, exists above all in younger female subjects, a complication that, while remaining very rare, has grown when the “AZ vaccine” was used in younger people. It can also happen with the second dose, although the risk is even lower, about one in 600 thousand. If you have other vaccines available that do not have this complication and the circulation of the virus is much lower, try to make restrictions, which are valid for AstraZeneca and also for J&J “, he clarified.” Reading well the opinion of the Cts – added the M5S undersecretary and doctor – I, if I were one of the vaccinating doctors, having others available vaccines, I would neither AstraZeneca nor J&J to the youngest. We have a number of doses of Pfizer and Moderna that can cover the entire population “, he assured.” There are no clinical trials with a large number of people who have made the switch “, but there are” several “and” studies. there was no problem. Only the UK trial showed some mild complications, such as injection site pain or fever, but it is very very safe and the data shows there is an even greater immune response, “he later explained on the Covid vaccine mix. “Some countries are already doing it”, he recalled. “But it would have happened anyway in a few months – he specified – because it is likely that we will have to do a third dose that will cover the worst variants that have developed in the meantime. We will discover the timing in progress. The hypothesis is that every year we will have to make a recall, but we still don’t know for sure “.
