While health workers in northwestern Syria are gearing up to receive the first batch of COVID-19 vaccines, which the World Health Organization (WHO) affirmed it will deliver this March, fake news about the vaccine’s dangerous side effects are spreading throughout the region, with several questions as to health organizations’ role in debunking rumors clung to COVID-19.
The WHO said that the first batch of vaccine doses was intended to arrive in war-ravaged Syria on 23 February. Thirty-five to 40 percent of the vaccines would be made available in the first quarter of 2021, and 60 to 65 percent in the second quarter.
