At the moment it is not possible to establish a direct correlation between the death and the administration of the serum, for this reason it will be necessary to perform an autopsy. "We are very sorry for what happened, a causal relationship with the administration of the vaccine cannot be demonstrated - said Rocco Calabrese, medical director of the Sapri hospital - among other things it appears that the patient suffered from previous metabolic and cardiocirculatory pathologies.
