The Ministry of Health (MOH) has clarified about audio messages on inaccuracies related to Covid-19 patients and anti-viral vaccines.


The Ministry confirmed that there is no need to conduct any tests before receiving the vaccines if the recipient does not have any symptoms of Covid-19 disease, and what was mentioned in the letter about the composition of the vaccine and that it increases the severity of the disease for those who received it is not true.


MOH reiterated that neither the PfizerBiotech or Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines contain any Covid-19 virus, but rather viral components that activate the immune system to resist the virus when it enters the body. It said that spreading rumors and false information, about Covid-19 vaccines harming the body, may cause the death of innocent people.


The Ministry of Health called on everyone not to obtain information from non-specialists, but through the ministry's website and its accounts documented on social media platforms or through other official sources.
