Coronavirus, vaccine testing on the first six volunteers in Veneto

The first three vaccine doses of Grad-Cov2 had been inoculated on other volunteers Wednesday in Rome at Spallanzani. The trial is being conducted by the Clinical Research Center of the Borgo Roma Hospital in Verona, as part of the collaboration initiated by the University of Verona with the Spallanzani Hospital. The first results obtained, added Milleri as reported by Il Gazzettino, “bode well since the analyzes carried out in the first days of the vaccinated subjects showed the almost total absence of contraindications”.

The vaccine was “created, produced and patented by the Italian biotechnology company ReiThera of Castel Romano. It passed preclinical tests carried out both in vitro and in vivo on animal models, which highlighted the strong induced immune response and good safety profile, subsequently obtaining the approval of phase One of the human trial by the Higher Institute of Health, the Italian Medicines Agency and the National Ethics Committee for the Covid-19 emergency. “If all plans are respected, by 2021 several million doses could be produced.

Volunteer: “I’m not afraid” One of the volunteers, interviewed by Corriere della Sera, says: “I’m not afraid. Before accepting I have thoroughly researched the work of the researchers. We are facing a phenomenon of mammoth importance. I am convinced that if it is. humanity wants to defeat the virus, everyone must do their part. I’m trying “, said the boy, who added that at the moment he does not suffer from side effects:” They kept me under observation for a few hours and now I can go home . I will have to measure my body temperature every evening and keep a clinical diary in which to write down every slightest reaction. In two days I will return for a check-up which will then be repeated periodically for the next six months “. Finally, Gabriele made an appeal to all those who are against the vaccine: “It is the only way that what we are going through becomes just a memory, something that future generations will study in the history books”.
