As long as there is a need, the structure is there and I am at Italy’s disposal”.
About AstraZeneca, he adds, ” probably we could have communicated better. “Now, he explains,” we continue with the second doses AstraZeneca over 60 years, under 60 you do the so-called heterologous ”. ” I must say that despite everything our citizens have shown that they are better than all this confusion that has been created. It must be said that there are justifications also because on AstraZeneca there have been over 10 different indications over time, but this is the child of a virus that is changeable, of a risk-benefit ratio that changes over time and of what pharmacovigilance does both in the world, yes in Europe and in Italy. ” Regions “As soon as I took office with my team”, adds Figliuolo, “we tried to develop a feasible and sustainable plan but above all to find collaboration with the presidents of the Regions and of the Autonomous Provinces because it was necessary to restore citizens’ trust in the institutions’ ‘.’ ‘It was a question of systematizing the arrival of doses with the ability to administer them thinking of large hubs but also of people who may be enticed’ ‘he concludes.
