«Pfizer-Biontech has increased its offer in the second half of the year with over 6 million additional doses, Moderna has promised the delivery of batches equal to 4.7 million doses. So the situation is such that one might not even have to resort to the administration of the J&J and AZ vaccines under 60 years ».

“Another aid, Curevax, mRNA vaccine, functioning similar to Pfizer and Moderna, with expected availability of over 7 million doses in the second quarter, should soon be approved by EMA.”

«Anyone who has received a first dose of Astrazeneca in the age group under 60 is not advised to take the second dose with the same preparation. It should be remembered that cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia, accompanied by a lack of platelets in the blood, were recorded only after the first administration. Vaccination is voluntary so the individual may also request to receive a different product. But there is no reason to change direction ».

“It certainly takes into account the intensification of the vaccination program. It is a decision that seeks to meet the needs of the population and various needs, all of which are fundamental: health as primary law, economy and work, school and culture. Not only does one die of Covid, but one can also succumb to poverty, which leads to a lack of treatment for other diseases, a loss of scientific-technological competitiveness, conditions that will inevitably affect the younger generations and the future of the country “.

«Of course we are starting from numbers that are less favorable than those that led to the reopening in England and Israel. But also the performance of Italy is not just. We vaccinated 15 million, of which 4.7 million with booster ».

To move between red and orange regions, you will need to have a pass as proof of having performed an antigen test in the 48 hours preceding, if you are not vaccinated or cured of Covid. Is it a requirement that is scientifically substantiated?

“Preventing those who are not yet vaccinated from traveling for work or emergency reasons would be discriminatory. Only the minority of the population has been immunized to date and hence the request to have carried out a diagnostic test in the previous 48 hours ”

“Those of the third generation are fast, reliable in specificity and sensitivity, many of them on a par with the molecular ones which also remain of reference.”
