Over 75 per cent of those who complained of minor adverse effects after receiving the vaccine against coronavirus in Jharkhand are residents of Ranchi, according to data collected by the National Health Mission (NHM).
Doctors spearheading the vaccination campaign in Jharkhand, however, could not state any scientific reason behind the higher rate of adverse effects reported in the state capital, barring that more people were vaccinated in Ranchi compared to the remaining 23 districts.
“Most of the people who complained of adverse effects after vaccination only suffered from minor pains in the arm. We have not reported any case of severe adverse effects following immunisation in Jharkhand,” said Dr Ajit Prasad, the nodal officer for the vaccination programme in the state.
