WHO Says Influenza-Like Illness Post COVID-19 Vaccinations Expected Side Effect

Dubai- Massader News

The World Health organization said on Monday a subcommittee has concluded that the benefit-risk balance of the COVID-19 vaccines remains favorable after reviewing reports of influenza-like illness in healthcare workers who got vaccinated, according to Reuters.

The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety concluded that the symptoms of an influenza-like illness may be expected as immune responses following vaccinations in general and the reports of COVID-19 vaccines are consistent with the expected side-effects of vaccines, the WHO said.
