Sars-Cov-2 vaccine, here is the form for informed consent
Here is the circular from the Ministry of Health and the facsimile of the informed consent form for vaccination against Sars-Cov-2
Information on risks and benefits, alternative therapeutic methods, communications to doctors of any side effects and stay in the hospital for at least 15 minutes after administration: these are some of the points to which you must agree for the administration of the vaccine .
The circular from the Ministry of Health on the vaccination procedure has arrived and there is also the facsimile of the informed consent form that everyone must sign before undergoing the vaccination.
"I was correctly informed in clear words, I understood the benefits and risks of vaccination, the modalities and therapeutic alternatives, as well as the consequences of a possible refusal or waiver of completing the vaccination with the second dose", yes reads in the first lines of the document. “I am aware – continues the form – that if any side effect occurs it will be my responsibility to immediately inform my doctor and follow his instructions. I agree to stay in the waiting room for at least 15 minutes after vaccine administration to ensure that no immediate adverse reactions occur. I agree and authorize the administration of vaccination using the 'Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19' vaccine.
The circular also contains the information note on the vaccine, from its characteristics to the methods of administration. Please note that the serum cannot be administered to children under 16 and to pregnant or breastfeeding women.
"It is very important – reads in bold – that you come back for the second administration, otherwise the vaccine may not work". Point 6 explains, however, that "it may take up to 7 days after the second dose of the vaccine to develop protection against Covid-19".
Very common "adverse reactions" include tiredness, headache, chills, fever or joint pain, while "rare" reactions include allergic reactions that can present with hives, swelling or difficulty breathing.
