VACCINES: ASTRAZENECA and JOHNSON & JOHNSON NOT RECOMMENDED for 2 CATEGORIES of people, prof. BASSETTI
Astrazeneca and Johnson & Johnson are not recommended for anyone taking contraceptives or similar“As for the
AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, I would feel of advise against them only to those who take the birth control pill or use of estrogen-progestin treatments, because it was seen that in young people taking these drugs one was registered higher frequency of adverse events, such as thrombosis: 6-7 cases in every million COVID vaccines. Very rare situations, I repeat, but possible “: with these words, reported by the newspaper
Huffington Post, the professor Matteo Bassetti explained the two categories of patients who, in his opinion, should not be given the serums Astrazeneca e Johnson & Johnson.
In a long interview with the news agency Adnkronos, the infectious disease specialist also added: “Many citizens are in Liguria canceling the booking for AstraZeneca, after the case of an 18-year-old suffering from thrombosis, for which we all cheer for her early recovery. But I appeal to the boys, ed especially to girls: they must rest assured, all over the world young people have been subjected to the vaccine and the side effects are really minimal “.
Bassetti then concluded by emphasizing the importance of vaccinations: “Getting vaccinated is a choice of life, social responsibility and civic education. Each type of drug we take can have serious side effects, but we know by now that from this pandemic we only get out of it with mass vaccination. If today we fail to vaccinate all Italians, in October we risk finding ourselves discovered against Sars-CoV-2, and having a new load of subjects who will end up in hospital and in intensive care “.
