Kenyans who have received the Covid-19 jab have not reported adverse side-effects so far besides pain at injection site, headache, tiredness and muscle ache, according to Health Chief Administrative Secretary Mercy Mwangangi.
In other countries mostly in Europe, investigations have been launched regarding people experiencing blood clots. Early this month, Denmark suspended administering Oxford/AstraZeneca jab following fears of blood clot.
“It is noteworthy that a number of countries such as Canada, Spain, Italy, France and Belgium have resumed its use,” said Dr Mwangangi.
