PHOTO“As the Italian pharmaceutical agency Aifa, we will stimulate more active pharmacovigilance studies also with innovative means, such as an application” for the follow-up of vaccinated people. This was stated by the general director of Aifa, Nicola Magrini, on the occasion of the meeting ‘A vaccine for all’ promoted by the International magazine in Ferrara, on anti-Covid vaccines and the vaccination campaign that will also begin in Italy.
Right now, Magrini stressed, “45 vaccines are already being tested in humans, 3 of which are now in the final stages of large-scale randomized clinical trials in several tens of thousands of patients. We can say that these studies will guarantee a good evaluation of the benefits and risks of these three vaccines. ”“ It is not a question of having preferences or not, contrary to the statements made in recent days, but rather, he specified, to control the data as an international research community ”.
The investigation, he added, “has begun and I believe that we should all ask the regulatory authorities for maximum transparency and access to data without shortcuts.”
In the second half of January there will be 1.7 million people vaccinated with the first of the available vaccines, that of pfizer, but if the data are confirmed, it is likely that there will be three vaccines in the first phase and therefore the exact millions of vaccinable persons per month. We will know them only from mid-January, when in reality there will be approvals, “said Magrini, in ‘Half an hour +’ on Rai 3.” In the first 3-6 months of 2021 there will still be no mass vaccination of the population. This will be a task that we will face towards the summer. Other vaccines will also arrive and probably in 3 months, from January to March, we will be able to have a vaccination capacity of up to 10 million, but it will be seen for availability in January ”, he said. Nicola Magrini.
“I think Italy is one step away from the inflection point, things are better, the situation is more under control”: says virologist Ilaria Capua, who spoke on Focus Live. To combat the virus, what will come will necessarily be a “close family Christmas” because “we cannot afford to pretend that the virus does not exist or that it cannot cause even worse harm.” “We must avoid winter and be prepared – he concluded – for a spring of rebirth.”
