THE PLAN ON VACCINES ACCORDING TO AN ANSA POINT :

The European Medicines Agency will meet on 21 December to decide on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The European Medicines Agency has moved the date of its meeting from 29 to 21 December "after receiving new data" on the coronavirus vaccine developed and manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech. "An extraordinary meeting was scheduled for December 21 to reach a conclusion if possible," reported the EMA.

Meanwhile, the FDA in the United States has given the authorization for the first DIY anti-Covid test.

“Every day counts. We are working at full speed to authorize vaccines for Covid 19. I welcome the news from EMA that anticipate the meeting to discuss the Pfizer-BionTech vaccine before Christmas. It is likely that the first Europeans will be vaccinated before the end of 2020 ”. So the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on Twitter.

"Let's start the vaccination campaign together". This was stated in a joint statement by the ministers of health of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Holland, Spain and Switzerland, who met today virtually identifying some essential aspects regarding the vaccination campaign that should be coordinated by member states, especially cross-border. "We reaffirm the need – the law states – to coordinate our efforts for a safe, efficient and transparent use of the anti covid vaccine".

Even the Minister of Health, Speranza had reiterated the hope that "The EMA, in compliance with all safety procedures, can approve the Pfizer Biontech vaccine in advance of what is expected and that vaccinations can begin as soon as possible also in Countries of the European Union ".

"The planned passage to the European Commission for definitive approval of the Pfizer-BionTech anti-Covid vaccine could in all likelihood take place within 48 hours from the green light of the EMA , and therefore already on 26 or 27 December if the EMA decides before Christmas". This was stated by Guido Rasi, former Ema executive director. At that point, "the vaccine would be usable from the next day in EU countries". If the distribution machine and logistics are ready, and with the contextual and immediate validation by Aifa, "the vaccination campaign in Italy could therefore start – he says – as early as December 28-29".

The Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia returns to the need for new restrictions at Christmas: “Even during the Christmas holidays we want to secure the hospitals and the entire system because three very difficult winter months await us. – he added, answering questions from journalists during the inspection in Bitti, the town of Nuoro hit by the flood on November 28th – This means self-discipline and I believe that Italy will answer: 'first health and then business', because without life there is no business ".

"On Wednesday with Minister Speranza, Commissioner Arcuri and the head of the Civil Protection Department Borrelli we will hold the final meeting to launch the vaccine plan," he added. "The Regions have done an excellent job"

"I hope that the season of deniers will be canceled forever: there are no longer 65 thousand Italians and I hope that we will also take the decisions together with the opposition", said the minister, answering questions about the government's tightening for the Christmas holidays. . "The zoning has worked and the contagion curve has dropped: from 40 thousand infections per day to less than 20 thousand and from 1.72 of R (t) to 0.8, and in many regions to 0.6 and 0 , 7 but it is not enough – he added – because in other EU countries it is growing and the two curves cross ”. As for vaccines, Boccia specified in the evening, 'we start from mid-January throughout Europe'

Moderna's Covid vaccine is effective and safe and meets the parameters for emergency use. This was stated, according to the American media, by the staff of the FDA in a report made public in view of the official decision of 17 December on the use of the vaccine.
