Malaysia should refrain from being too hasty in deciding whether to proceed with the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for Covid-19 in view of the lack of evidence to support claims of severe side effects.
“Pain, swelling in the arm or fever are mild side effects from the vaccines that can be expected. However, if there are more serious side effects from any of the vaccines, it should be reported to the Health Ministry,” he told theSun. He added that if the all-clear is given, the decision will likely be reversed and the use of the vaccine will continue.
“Considering the affected population that was being vaccinated, namely older people, this is neither surprising nor unexpected. In any normal situation, deep vein thromboses happen to one person per 1,000 per year, which would mean that 5,000 individuals would suffer from this each year regardless.”He added that researchers have also indicated that there is no reason for the vaccine to even cause blood clots.
