Curiosity
On 29 July 2017, two days before the publication in the Official Gazette of the so-called Lorenzin Decree, the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) updated the texts of the summary of product characteristics (Rcp) and the package leaflet (Fi) of the vaccine Hexyon. The SPC published by AIFA before 29 July 2017 reported in paragraph 4.8 that "The safety of Hexyon in children older than 24 months has not been studied in clinical trials" and in paragraph 5.1 that "The immunogenicity of Hexyon in children older than 24 months has not been studied in clinical trials." On 29 July 2017 the prescription of 24 months of age disappeared, thus guaranteeing the possibility of administering that vaccine in accordance with the political needs dictated and regulated by the Lorenzin Decree. The same change was also found on the same day on the European Medicines Agency (EMA) website.
Since that torrid July 2017, our questions have remained unanswered: which studies have been presented in order to guarantee safety and efficacy after 24 months of age?
