New Delhi: The state governments have been asked by the Centre to identify at least one adverse event management centre in every block to judge the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccine.
“When we undertake a universal immunisation programme, some adverse effects are seen in children and pregnant women after vaccination,” health secretary Rajesh Bhushan was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
“So, we can’t deny chances of an adverse event when Covid-19 vaccination begins. In countries where immunisation has already begun, especially in the UK, adverse events have taken place on the very first day. So, it is essential that states and UTs prepare for this too,” Bhushan was quoted.
