Covid vaccine, “the volunteer who died in Brazil had not received the dose.” AstraZeneca-Oxford trial continues

“He was part of the group of experimentation, but had not received the vaccine“These are the guarantees that come the day after the news, released this Thursday by Reuters, of the death in Brazil of one of the volunteers involved in the candidate’s experimentation. Vaccine for COVID-19 developed by the University of Oxford with Irbm from Pomezia and the pharmaceutical multinational AstraZeneca. The agency reported the incident, citing the Brazilian health authority Anvisa and the federal university of Sao Paulo, but shortly after the Bloomberg agency it was learned that the volunteer had not received the Covid vaccine. AstraZeneca, for its part, does not give any details but does know that experimentation continues. The volunteer, it was announced, was a 28 year old doctor that he was in the front line in Rio de Janeiro, that he had not received the experimental vaccine: it was part of the control arm.

Trials of the Oxford vaccine are currently underway with a total of 50,000 volunteers in Great Britain, the United States, Brazil and South Africa. The results of the final step 3 are expected in the coming weeks. And it is precisely in this vaccine, which would seem to be among the closest to the end if there are no unforeseen events, where many hopes are concentrated. A prototype It will be validated later this year, announced today the deputy director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Ranieri Guerra. And the confirmation also came from the president of the Irbm research center in Pomezia Piero Di Lorenzo, who assured, again without unforeseen events, the availability of the first doses for December, as announced in recent days by the president of the board, Giuseppe Conte.

Supports ilfattoquotidiano.it: I never eat right now
we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we carry out a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, interviews with experts, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, comes at great financial cost. Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income. Not in line with the access boom. That is why I ask those who read these lines to support us. Give us a minimum contribution, equal to the price of a cappuccino per week, which is essential for our work.

THANKS FOR READING NOW XX ITEMS THIS MONTH.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
