It is currently circulating on social channels (Facebook and Twitter), with clear alarmist intent on the part of those who periodically raise it (especially during the flu vaccination campaign), the news of a ban on the use of flu vaccines by AIFA. The articles cited actually date back to 2014 and report reports of deaths that in no cases were related to the administration of the vaccines, as emerged from the scientific investigations subsequently conducted by the national and European authorities.
This is therefore misleading news that risks damaging the vaccination campaign flu shot in progress. AIFA reiterates the importance of getting vaccinated against seasonal flu, in particular for the categories most at risk (especially the elderly and people of all ages with underlying diseases that increase the risk of complications during flu), and not be conditioned by false news circulating on the net.
