In this regard, Dr. Noor Hisham said that the WHO in a press conference the same day emphasized that a vaccine is effective in containing the spread of diseases such as smallpox, polio, etc.
“However, efficacy and safety are two important factors to consider when it comes to applying a vaccine.
“The issue should not be taken lightly, and therefore, to ensure that these factors are met, a vaccine must go through several tests and phases,” he said.
According to him, to this day, the WHO has not confirmed that Covid-19 vaccines are effective and safe. –Named
