The consequences of this choice are partly surprising: not only has the number of people who presented themselves to receive the vaccine grown exponentially, and this could have been predicted. But the specific requests for AstraZeneca have increased dramatically: unpredictable, if you think about it <strong>skepticism<\/strong> which has been revolving around the Anglo-Swedish vaccine for months, and if we think that, in March, Germany was among the first in Europe to suspend its administration to verify its links with some rare cases of thrombosis.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by the <em>Rheinische Post<\/em>, newspaper of <strong>Dusseldorf<\/strong>, however, the German pharmacist association launches an alarm: \u201c<em>AstraZeneca is now in such great demand that the quantities ordered may no longer be sufficient<\/em>\u201c, said the president of the association Thomas Preis. According to the weekly <em>der Spiegel<\/em>, then, the current &quot;success&quot; of AstraZeneca is given by being able to shorten i <strong>recall times to four weeks<\/strong>, instead of twelve, and this would have made the vaccine more popular among young people, eager to be immunized for the start of summer and reopening. There are not a few cases of medical studies literally stormed with the specific request to receive AstraZeneca.<\/p>\n<h2>WHAT HAPPENS WITH ASTRAZENECA<\/h2>\n<p><strong>AstraZeneca<\/strong>, you will recall, was not at the center of the public debate only for the alleged links with cases of thrombosis, later classified by the EMA as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agi.it\/estero\/news\/2021-04-07\/ema-astrazeneca-legame-vaccino-covid-trombosi-12080446\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rare side effects<\/a> of the vaccine (\u201cbut the benefits outweigh the risks\u201d).

On April 23, the European Commission launched a legal action against the pharmaceutical company for the<strong> violation of the \u201cadvance purchase agreement\u201d<\/strong>of vaccines against Covid. This was stated by the spokesman for Health of the EU executive, Stefan de Keersmaecker, who underlined how the lawsuit was initiated for the <strong>non-compliance with contractual terms<\/strong>, and for the company&#039;s failure to put in place a &quot;reliable strategy to ensure timely delivery of doses&quot;.
