The procedure for authorizing vaccines against COVID-19 is explained below by the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Health, Andrea Baciu, trying to give us more details about how the European authorities make sure that the serums are safe.
"We invite you to watch an interview about the EMA's approval and recommendation procedures for vaccines against COVID-19 with Alexandra Spurni, head of the Evaluation Service at the Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Directorate of the National Medicines Agency, supported by Andrei Baciu, vice-president of the CNCAV and secretary of state within the Ministry of Health.
"Any safety issue is closely monitored. Absolutely nothing escapes, absolutely nothing is left to chance. Even if the pharmacovigilance committee does not come with a clear recommendation from the first, precisely because a very careful and very detailed evaluation of all available data is needed. Safety is clearly monitored, as with any medicine." Alexandra Spurni"
