Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi has admitted he had some side effcts after taking a jab of the Oxford-AstraZeneca covid-19 vaccine last Friday, however it posed no serious threats as he recovered in record time.

The vaccine produced by the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical giant in collaboration with Oxford University has come under intense scrutiny lately after blood clots were reported in some people who received the jab. The led to the halting of inculcation exercise in several countries that include Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Bulgaria, Thailand, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg and Italy.

The World Health Organisation says there is no need for panic or cause for concern as there is no established link between the vaccine and the blood clots.

Prof. Abayomi stressed that the discomfort being reported by some of those who have been vaccinated are expected side effects, but pose no serious harm.

He says that the Lagos State Government is prepared to handle adverse effects of the vaccine should it occur in anyone.
