CAIRO – 30 January 2021: Egypt’s Ministry of Health sent a message of reassurance after members of medical staff at isolation hospitals refused to receive the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine Sinofarm.
The vaccine is optional and everyone gets it voluntarily; no one is obligated to obtain the vaccine, the ministry said.
It ensured that the vaccine is “safe and effective”, and that the efficiency rate of the vaccine that have been licensed for emergencies have reached 95 percent.
The ministry added that the Chinese Coronavirus vaccine has some minor side effects that the average person feels when receiving it. “We have provided specialized clinics and follow-up teams for those who receive the vaccines,” the ministry continued.
Medical staff at isolation, fever and chest hospitals are atop of the recipients of the vaccine. The second dose is received 21 days after the first shot.
A total of 1,315 medical teams have received vaccines at 22 isolation and fever hospitals across governorates, adding that 3,450 medical teams registered online to receive the vaccination.
No symptoms have shown on those who received the vaccination so far, said the ministry, adding that the turnout at the website is on the rise.
