While yesterday AstraZeneca announced the worldwide withdrawal of its vaccine against Covid-19 – a decision taken by the pharmaceutical company not for safety reasons but rather due to the surplus of other updated vaccines against the new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronovirus – Codacons reported a victory in terms of damage from anti-Covid vaccination, obtained on behalf of a citizen who was recognized as a compensation for serious adverse reactions suffered following administration of the AstraZeneca drug.
The consumer association itself told the story, revealing that the ASL 3 of Genoa and the Hospital Medical Commission of La Spezia gave “the green light to a substantial compensation in favor of a Genoese citizen who in 2021 had undergone the AstraZeneca anti-Covid vaccination, immediately reporting serious adverse reactions”.
Adverse reactions caused by the vaccine in a 37-year-old man
It was March 26, 2021 when a 37-year-old Genoese man “subjected to the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine” – reconstructs Codacons, which legally followed the matter. “Two weeks after the injection a hematoma in the left hemithorax“. The situation worsens after the second dose of the vaccine, “which took place on 10.6.2021, when he noticed red spots on his ankles and bruises on his buttocks. Having gone to the emergency room of the San Martino hospital in Genoa, he was hospitalized and medical tests revealed immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP), a disease characterized by the drastic reduction in the number of circulating platelets due to their destruction and suppression of production.”
Why there is nothing new in Astrazeneca’s admission on the link between the anti-Covid vaccine and thrombosis
Eight months after the first dose, the man was also diagnosed with “complete occlusion of the basilic vein on the right in his humeral section by TVS and complete occlusion of the cephalic vein in the forearm section by TVS”. Pathologies which, in addition to hospitalization and frequent medical checks, will force the citizen to undergo specific treatments and therapies based on cortisone.
The decision to turn to Codacon
In light of the health problems he encountered, the 37-year-old decided to contact Codacons to obtain legal assistance. The association begins the process aimed at obtaining compensation for vaccination damage provided for by law 210/92. The Military Legal Medicine Department of La Spezia, territorially competent, at the request of ASL 3, acquired the documentation in recent years and, after having subjected the citizen to a health assessment, “has now sanctioned the causal link between vaccination and the onset of the reported pathologies writing in the minutes that ‘The onset of chronic immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) which affected Mr FEP a few days after the first vaccination procedure with the AstraZeneca vaccine for Covid-19 certainly constitutes a serious adverse reaction (harmful and unintentional response to a vaccination for which it is possible to establish a causal or concausal relationship with the vaccination itself) potentially triggered by the procedure itself, in a previously healthy subject'”.
The compensation: 1,740 euros every two months, for life
The Local Health Authority 3 of Genoa and the Hospital Medical Commission of La Spezia have consequently given the green light to the compensation due to the citizen for damage caused by vaccination, “considering the ‘permanent impairment of psychophysical integrity’, with a lifetime compensation in the form of a check bimonthly of an amount equal, according to the latest ministerial tables, to 1740.77 euros”, reports Codacons.
