“As soon as possible, I will get vaccinated. Side effects are conceivable, as always from the 9 thousand classical molecular tests Veneto it has been added to at least 27,000 other rapid or antigenic swabs. vaccine. It turns out that 2 percent of the volunteers had the temperature? Do you think this prospect is comparable to the danger of contracting a virus that is causing many deaths? ” Professor Roberto Cauda is director of Infectious Diseases of the Gemelli Polyclinic from Rome. He too, like so many scientists, is closely following the dissemination of data from ongoing vaccine trials, particularly the two that use mRna technology, i.e. Modern me Pfizer-BioNTech (Vaccination against Covid-19 with this latest product will start today in the UK.)

Analysis
The journal Science, in an article entitled “Public opinion must be prepared for the side effects of vaccines”, talks about the trial. For Moderna, 2 percent of the volunteers developed a high fever for one day; 9.7 percent fatigue; 8.9 percent muscle pain; 5.2 joint pain; 4.5 headache. For Pfizer, the percentages are lower. Either way, nothing dramatic, but if people don’t follow and inform each other, they can freak out. To do this, all the experts interviewed by Science agree on the need for transparency, “companies should warn patients” this is what could happen to you if you take Tylenol for a few days, “says Drew Weissman, immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania Tylenol is a paracetamol-based drug.
Professor Cauda also maintains that the first rule is transparency: «As with any other vaccine, you have to tell the citizen: you can get a fever, you can get pain, all are normal reactions. Confidence comes with clarity. In these months it will be decisive to help Italians overcome mistrust of vaccines that, once authorized, will be a guarantee of safety. It also happened with the polio vaccine, when Elvis Presley decided to get vaccinated just to convince Americans. Inform first, but also help later. “Of course, it will be correct to give benchmarks to those who have been vaccinated. On the other hand – Professor Cauda recalls – there will be the surveillance phase. We will have to understand, for example, how long the antibody protection will last. ‘ For this reason, in a document presented by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, to Parliament, it is explained: “A serological survey will be carried out on a representative number of vaccinated, with the aim of evaluating the specificity of the immune response, the duration of immunological memory and identifying protective correlates. The tests will be carried out immediately before vaccination (time zero) and after one, 6 and 12 months ”. The Pts (Transversal Pact for Science), which brings together a large group of scientists, recalls: “The side effects, reported to date in the approximately 70,000 vaccinated people, are of short duration and occur in a small percentage of subjects, with mild symptoms ranging from injection site pain to headache. In some rare cases (2 percent), however, vaccinated subjects showed more severe symptoms with fever, fatigue, and local swelling, all symptoms were they resolved spontaneously within two days or were easily controlled by taking an anti-inflammatory drug. This possibility should not be scary because it is a well-known reaction of our immune system to vaccination. “
Last night’s summit between ministers Roberto Speranza (Health), Francesco Boccia (Regional Affairs), Commissioner Domenico Arcuri and representatives of the Regions to take stock of the vaccination plan that will begin at the end of January. The scheme is maintained with one center per region, the goal of 28 million doses in the first quarter, the beginning with 2 million health and social workers who must be vaccinated and 4.4 above 80, the first tranche of Pfizer vaccines. which must always remain at minus 70 degrees, will be delivered directly to hospitals. When other vaccines become available, hallways, fairs and pharmacies will also be used for administration. To find staff, retired doctors and medical specialists will participate. Giovanni Toti (Liguria): “The reservation system will be managed centrally by the commissioner.” Boccia: “Never like at this time will the relationship of collaboration with the Regions and local entities be decisive”.
