WHO: Risks from Covid-19 much higher than AstraZeneca vaccine related risks
From CNN’s Naomi Thomas World Health Organization
The World Health Organization continues to believe that the benefits of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine outweigh the risk of rare side effects, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a news briefing in Geneva on Friday.
“Even as we work to expand access to vaccines, we’re continuing to keep a close eye on vaccine safety,” Tedros said.
All vaccines and medicines carry a risk of side effects, he said, adding that:
“In this case, the risks of severe disease and death from Covid-19 are many times higher than the very small risks related to the vaccine.”
