Refuting reports about the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, the Union Ministry of Health reiterated Tuesday that rarely, few people who get vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccines could enjoy serious adverse events based on certain predisposing conditions. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, a recent media report claimed that the Indian Medical Research Council (ICMR) and the Central Drug Standards Control Organization (CDSCO) admitted “various side effects of COVID-19 vaccines” in reaction to an RTI request. The report says ICMR and CDSCO officials cited a host of ramifications stemming from all COVID vaccines.
“It is clarified that the report is misinformed and provides erroneous information,” the Union Health Ministry said. In line with the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare’s policy on proactive disclosure aligned with global clinical evidence in the public domain, ICMR provided answers to RTI’s questions are similar to the pros and cons of COVID-19 vaccines. ICMR’s reaction only provided links to reputable websites of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, where global evidence collected on various COVID-19 vaccines is available, he said.
As is the case with all other vaccines, the Ministry of Health said those vaccinated with other COVID-19 vaccines will possibly feast on mild symptoms such as tenderness at the injection site, pain, headache, fatigue, myalgia, malaise, pyrexia. , chills, arthralgia, etc. Rarely, some other people could experience serious side effects based on certain predisposing conditions, according to the statement. The Union Ministry of Health said studies from global studies have shown that vaccination against COVID-19 has helped decrease the severity of the disease by preventing hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 and that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the adverse effects. In India, NTAGI (National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization) has regularly reviewed the benefits and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines used in India and endorsed previous findings.
According to the Family Health and Wellness Decomponent, 220. 17 crores of total doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered, adding 95. 14 crores of momentary doses and 22. 46 crores of precautionary doses, as a component of the national vaccination campaign. (ANI)
