“Regarding the information that vaccines pose a risk of causing cerebral hemorrhagic stroke, we clarified that scientifically there is no relationship between bleeding stroke and the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Mursyid.
The side effects that may arise, according to Mursyid, are still very mild and easily overcome, such as fever, pain, drowsiness, hunger and so on.
These side effects usually do not last long, a maximum of 2 days after the vaccine injection.
Furthermore, he explained that about 20 percent of hemorrhagic strokes were caused by blockages in blood vessels with the main cause being due to certain high risk factors and not caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
