Rome, September 16, 2020 – En Italy the vaccine anti-coronavirus I may already reach November: “The first 2-3 million doses of the Covid vaccine Oxford-Irbm-AstraZeneca they should arrive in Italy by the end of November if the ongoing trial progresses positively, after being temporarily suspended due to a suspicious reaction in a volunteer that turned out to be unrelated to the candidate vaccine, “he explained. Piero di Lorenzo, president of the Irbm of Pomezia, who collaborated with the Jenner Institute of Oxord University the development of the vaccine prototype, to the Ansa agency. Yes is essential: criticalities should not arise and experimentation should continue as planned, so “the schedule already announced by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza will be respected.”
The chancellor Luigi di maio today he said: “We are working on a big one European agreement for the vaccine against Covid, whose tests continue “.
At night, in Porta a Porta, the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza commented: “It’s happening on the vaccine unprecedented work that will lead us to success. The man will win this game. Then we will see if it will be AstraZeneca or another company. The truth is that we want the vaccine in the shortest possible time and it is we want insurance. We will never authorize a vaccine that has not completed all the steps on time. “She added:” The Oxford one is one of seven shots what are you investing in the European Union. We have an attitude of total investment because we believe that the vaccine is really a decisive game ”. The minister immediately stopped the discussion on the obligation of the vaccine: “it is premature because there is not yet. When it starts to arrive there will be the problem of who will do it first since in the first months we will have to decide who to give it to “.
Speranza explained, roughly, how the vaccine will be distributed and when it could become mandatory: “The Italian government’s orientation is to start with health personnel, because all the studies tell us that they have been the most affected, the most exposed. Among them, the percentage of those affected by the Coronavirus is 5%, while among the rest of citizens we are at 2.5%. Then we will pass to the people higher with multiple pathologies, the RSA area, and then we’ll go down. Maybe we will take care of the obligation by the end of 2021 ”.
Hope also spoke of new ray test: in 12 minutes reports on viral load and antibodies: “Also the Italian company Menarini it is doing important work, science is doing unprecedented work. In the 12-minute test announced today, it is obvious that national authorities must carry out a timely verification. And that is why it is not enough for a company to launch a product, because it has to be validated, but what we see is that there is a continuous evolution ”. The minister recalled that the virus can also be defeated in other ways. : “Much less is said about cures, but for example in Tuscany the team of researchers directed by Rino Rappuoli is developing cures with monoclonal antibodies and this is essential. We will have answers in the medium term, now the strategy is to resist and the weapons are the behavior of the people ”.
The vaccine in the world
Around the world, it is a race against time to find the vaccine that can defeat the coronavirus. Only yesterday the president of the United States, Donald trumpsaid it may be available within a month, but also added that the pandemic could go away on its own. Today Trump reiterated on Twitter: “Vaccines advance quickly and safely.” Mark Meadows, chief of staff of the White House, always arguing that it could be ready “potentially by the end of September”, assured that the US administration has “a real hope of getting something that really works.” In addition, the government has disclosed that the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine will be out within 24 hours green light from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). There is already a distribution plan, decided by the Department of Health together with the Department of Defense, which will be sent to local and state officials in due course.
Ma Robert Redfield, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Cdc), the federal agency for health protection, Trump denied. In fact, Redfield told the Senate don’t wait for a widely available vaccine before the end in the second trimester / third trimester from 2021. Redfield remains confident of developing a vaccine in November or December, but one will be available. “very limited offer” (The White House spokesman at the briefing spoke instead of “at least 100 million doses of the vaccine by the end of the year.”)
But Trump doesn’t seem concerned about the CDC, in fact he denies it in turn: “I think it did a mistake, maybe you misunderstood the question, I was confused. It is incorrect information, ”said the mogul, referring to what Robert Redfield of the CDC said in his testimony to the Senate. And that is why he reiterated: “I believe that the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine can start in october, perhaps already in mid-October. “The president of the United States, in a press conference at the White House, predicted the” distribution of 100 million doses by the end of 2020. “And he wanted to underline:” The greater distribution of vaccines of American history “.
Russia should be ahead of everyone with that Sputnik V, announced already in August by the president Vladimir Putin. The Russian vaccine has entered the third phase of testing. Today, the Russian sovereign wealth fund and an Indian pharmaceutical company signed a distribution agreement. In India 100 million doses of Sputnik V. Deliveries to India could take place by the end of the year, again subject to approval by Indian regulatory authorities and successful completion of the test, a statement said.
As in Italy also in China we talk about a vaccine in November. Wu Guizhen, an expert at the Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control, herself a ‘guinea pig’ for the vaccine, talks about five vaccines developed by China, which are currently already in phase three of the clinical trial. If the road goes “well” for the Chinese, the first doses of the vaccines could be available in winter, explains the expert and volunteer: “In April I underwent the vaccine as a volunteer. I feel good.”
Also from Japan news of a vaccine available for the first half of 2021. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, at the opening press conference, said: “Vaccines must be safe. Our goal is to ensure a vaccine that reaches all people in the first half of next year.”
