"The second dose of AstraZeneca vaccine is safe." This is what the Italian Medicines Agency (Aifa) specifies following the news on the in-depth document on post-vaccination thromboembolic complications with the AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines, released today by the same Agency. Aifa also invites to "complete the vaccination which represents the best strategy to combat the Covid 19 virus and guarantees the best level of protection from the disease".
