The Presidency has responded to media enquiries on the possible side effects after President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo, took the COVID-19 vaccine jab.
Senior Presidential Media Aide, Garba Shehu, dispelled fears and misconceptions about the safety of the vaccine administered on the two leaders on Saturday in Abuja.
“After he got his jab, the President felt normal and went about doing his job. If there are side effects that follow, we will be open about that but so far there is nothing of a side effect, serious or mild on the President. He is carrying on as normal.
“We hope this will help to send a strong message among the people, especially those grappling with hesitancy about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine,” Shehu stated in a statement.
