The Ministry of Information has published, on its website, a new list (in the English language) that includes 51 questions and answers about the Corona vaccine.
The list, which is the result of a joint effort between the Ministries of Public Health and Information, the World Health Organization and UNICEF, sheds light in its first section (comprised of 25 questions) on general information about anti-Corona vaccines, their effectiveness, their side effects, and the time it takes to secure protection for the person receiving the vaccine.
The list also eliminates the confusion about the “AstraZeneca” vaccine by confirming its safety and efficacy, and that it does not cause blood clots. It also explains the difference between the different vaccines, and emphasizes that all of them lead to reducing deaths, in addition to their effectiveness against new mutations of the COVID-19 virus.
In its second part (18 questions), the list sheds light on the vaccine’s purchase, storage, distribution and quality control, especially in light of the constant power shortage, and the reason why Lebanon chose the Pfizer vaccine in the first vaccination phase; in addition to the components of the vaccine that Lebanon imports for its citizens, and whether it will be able to vaccinate all of its communities.
As for the third section (comprising 8 questions), it highlights the possibility of special cases such as pregnant and lactating women and those suffering from chronic diseases obtaining the anti-Corona vaccine, and whether the vaccine is safe in all stages of pregnancy, and whether the vaccine negatively affects fertility.
