JAKARTA – Director of the National Brain Center Hospital, Mursyid Bustami, gave an explanation regarding the disinformation circulating that the Covid-19 vaccination caused serious side effects, namely bleeding in the body. The news emerged along with the news of a brain hemorrhage that befell Tukul Arowana.
He confirmed that the information was not true. Until now, there is no strong and valid scientific evidence showing that there is a link between the administration of the Covid-19 vaccination and the occurrence of blood vessel rupture.
Even if there are side effects from the Covid-19 vaccination, they are still very mild and easy to handle such as fever, pain, drowsiness, hunger, and others. This effect usually does not last long, a maximum of 2 days after injection of the vaccine.
“Regarding the information that vaccines have a risk of causing brain hemorrhagic stroke, we have clarified that scientifically there is no relationship between bleeding stroke and the Covid-19 vaccine,” he said, quoted from a press release from the Ministry of Health, Sunday (26/9).
