The ministry is ready to give the ok to the administration of the third dose of the Covid vaccine at the same time as the flu vaccine
A turning point for the third dose of the anti Covid vaccine in Italy: according to reports from ‘La Stampa’, the Ministry of Health is ready to give the green light at the administration at the same time as flu vaccine. The goal is to avoid the likely chaos in doctors’ offices and emergency rooms generated by the confusion between seasonal ills and symptoms of Covid-19.
The ok should arrive, specifically, at the beginning of October.
A source from the ministry led by the minister Roberto Speranza he explained: “We are waiting for the investigation to be completed because the combination is not in the technical data sheet of the two anti-Covid Rna-messenger vaccines“.
Third dose of the anti Covid vaccine: the Lazio decision
The Lazio, however, he does not appear willing to wait.
The Regional Health Councilor, Alessio D’Amato, he confirmed: “From 4 October we are ready to leave, thus avoiding many elderly people over eighty from having to undergo the stress of double travel to get immunized. We have already had the favorable opinion of Spallanzani, who is a beacon on the matter ”.
Also Anthony Fauci, an immunologist advisor to the White House in the United States of America, is in favor. He told ‘Cnn’: “There is no need to let any time pass between vaccination against influenza and anti Covid-19, with the third dose. What matters is just doing both immunizations as soon as possible. If that means getting an injection in one arm and the other at the same time in the other, that’s fine. “
