The chief scientific expert of the World Health Organization (WHO) Sumiya Swaminathan, confirmed that she does not have information indicating that any of the vaccines used to prevent the Coronavirus may pose a threat to people's health.
According to Russia Today, Swaminathan said that this issue is very important, and patients must understand the effectiveness of the vaccine security monitoring system, especially given that it appeared on the market within a very short period of time.
She explained that each country monitors itself, while the World Health Organization is working on the coordination aspects.
She added the WHO has the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Security, which considers on a weekly basis the data we have received from all countries, producers, and monitoring bodies.
Swaminathan continued to say that so far, about 200 million doses of vaccines have been injected in several countries, and there are no indicators regarding security that raise our serious concerns, but we will continue to analyze the following data and work on monitoring.
On the other hand, the recent statistics showed a significant decline in the index of new infections with the emerging coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) worldwide, but the World Health Organization warns of complacency in the face of the pandemic.
The number of daily infections with the virus is declining for the fifth week in a row, in a trend that has been recorded all over the world, and this indicator yesterday, Wednesday, according to WHO data, reached 348 thousand cases.
The daily death toll from the Coronavirus last Tuesday reached its lowest level since mid-October, and the decrease in the number of infections and deaths coincides with the general isolation measures and the tightening of restrictions on gatherings and movement.
Governments make careful calculations of balance between the need to stop successive waves of the pandemic and the need to return people to work and children to schools.
