Berlin (CNN) – The German Vacancies Commission recommends that the vacancy against the coronavirus developed by AstraZeneca at the University of Oxford should not be administered by a person as 65-year-old mayor, said the German Interior Ministry.
The Standing Committee on Vacationing (STIKO) of the Robert Koch Institute of Germany (RKI), the main public health authority of the country, has found that it has no sufficient data on the evacuation efficiency for this eda group, according to a communication from Ministry.

“Debit the number of participants in the study in the age group ≥65 years, no decision can be made with respect to efficiency and security in the seniors. For this reason, STIKO currently recommends this vacancy only for persons aged 18 to 64 », the panel said in its recommendation.
The United Kingdom, which regulates the Oxford / AstraZeneca vaccine has just one month, has been administering doses for 65-year-olds.
In its information, the regulator, the MHRA, states that it has “limited information available on the participation of participants over 65 years of age or older, although it does not suggest a protection flaw”.
The EU has ordered 300 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which can be approved for use by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as soon as possible, with the option to buy 100 million additional doses.
A report from AstraZeneca states that it will seek a regulatory decision from the EMA soon. “The information that the AstraZeneca / Oxford vaccine is effective in mayors over 65 years of age is not an exact reflection of the totality of the data,” the spokesman said.
“The latest analysis reflects the efficacy in this group of editions, which we hope will be published by the EMA in the next few days. Lancet’s most recent publication has shown that adult adults show strong immune response to the vaccine, with 100% of major adults generating specific anticoagulants from the second dose ».
The executive president of AstraZeneca, Pascal Soriot, said on Monday in an interview with the Italian diary La Repubblica that “the problem with the dates of the mayors is not working or not. That we have a limited amount of dates in the mayor’s ».
Soriot says that it is doubtful that the Oxford scientists who are carrying out the vacancies will not be able to recruit major people until they have “accumulated a lot of security data” for people aged 18 to 55 years.
“Essentially, it’s debated that Oxford started evacuating the most vulnerable people, we do not have a large number of major people who have been evacuated. This is the debate, ‘he said. “But we have solid data that show a production of very strong antiviral virus against the viruses, similar to what we see in most young people. It is possible that some countries, by precaution, use our vacancy for the most youth group ».
