He also urged people to get vaccinated and keep following the guidance.
Cllr Carroll, who is also an epidemiologist, said: “There’s nothing wrong with people asking questions or having concerns. That’s normal – but it’s vital that people get their information from the correct sources because this [Pfzier/BioNTech vaccine] is a very safe and effective vaccine.
“It’s been tested rigorously by the MHRA and they looked at it with huge amounts of scrutiny and detail.
“So, it’s vital that we kick back the anti-vaxxers because it’s extremely dangerous to public health as it could lead to someone getting the virus and all that it entails.”
