Gimbe: “Concerns about vaccine mixes, only 4 small studies”
“There are doubts about the mix of vaccines” to date “the leaflets of the vaccines approved so far have not been changed so far. We do not have any controlled and randomized studies, so to date the only scientific evidence we have, in addition to both immunological and biological rationale, are four small studies that altogether have enrolled a thousand patients that show that the reaction after the vaccine mix is good and there are no significant adverse effects ». This was underlined by Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation, who spoke at “L’Italia s’è desta” on Radio Cusano Campus. “The CTS says ‘it is considered advisable to use an mRna vaccine for people under 60 years'”. «A possibilist opinion has become a peremptory recommendation – remarked Cartabellotta – and some regions have expressed doubts about this. As long as Aifa does not modify the leaflets, the vaccine mix is in effect off-label, outside the conditions authorized by the bodies in place ».
