Rome, 30 March 2021 – Why the vaccine AstraZeneca change name? A question that immediately emerged as soon as the company made it known that the anti-Covid serum was registered with the name of Vaxzevria. Previously, the pharmaceutical multinational said, the serum was generically named as ‘Covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccine’. An acronym this was not the name of the drug. “Now it has a name that has been registered as a practice: Vaxzevria” AstraZeneca sources say. “Naming a new drug is customary. And it is a process that takes place separately from the regulatory and regulatory approval of the drug itself.”

In fact, therefore, until today the vaccine of AstraZeneca it didn’t have a real name. As for the change of the package leaflet of Vaxzevria, the company accepted the request of the European Medicines Agency (Ema). Information on side events of anaphylactic reactions or other allergic reactions has already been updated on the EMA website “which will be included in the product information as known side effects”, the frequency of which “cannot yet be estimated”. In any case, the EMA confirmed that “the benefits of Vaxzevria in the prevention of Covid-19 continue to outweigh the risks, there are no recommended changes regarding the use of this vaccine”.
