The Federal Capital Territory Primary Healthcare Board has urged residents to ignore conspiracy theories and fake news bandied on social media about the side effects from the use of AstraZeneca Vaccine for COVID-19 in the territory.
The Acting Executive Secretary, FCT Primary Healthcare Board, Dr. Nda-Eyo Iwot disclosed this while monitoring the vaccination of FCT lawmakers.
Iwot stated that two of the five cases of persons developing acute side effects being bandied around are not directly linked to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine.
He said over 42,000 residents of the FCT have received their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccines since the roll out last month.
