Covid-19: Severe side effects after vaccination highly unlikely, study shows

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this is based on an interim analysis from February to September last year on 433,674 individuals who received at least one vaccine dose and were admitted into hospital for adverse events of special interest (AESI).
