Pediatricians and dentists involved in the vaccination campaign
Meanwhile, an order from the Prime Minister has been signed by the extraordinary commissioner for the Covid emergency Paul Figliuolo. According to this provision, the doses of the anti-Covid vaccine “that may be left at the end of the day, if not storable, are exceptionally administered to optimize use. This, in order to avoid waste.
The administration is in favor of subjects who are in any case available at the moment, according to the order of priority identified by the National Plan and subsequent recommendations ".
Whoever took the first dose of Astrazeneca need not worry
“Those who have already done the Astrazeneca vaccine have no reason to be worried, this is just a precautionary break. Vaccines are and remain the fundamental weapon with which to get out of these difficult months ". The Minister of Health reiterated this, Robert Hope. “The decision to suspend Astrazeneca - underlined Speranza - is of a precautionary nature. The decision emerged after an evaluation by the German vaccine institute.
There was a confrontation between health ministers: now governments await the judgment of the Ema for Thursday. We are confident that all the elements of reassurance can emerge to allow us to resume vaccination. It is okay to be cautious. The hope - concluded the minister - is that on Thursday Ema will give us enough answers to be able to start again with the vaccine Astrazeneca ".
