COVID-19 vaccines have No serious side-effect: DGHS
New Delhi: Director-General of Health Services (DGHS) Dr Sunil Kumar on Sunday said that vaccine and COVID appropriate behaviour are two things that are key to break the chain of coronavirus infections.
He made this statement while addressing a joint conversation on issues related to the COVID-19 situation with Director of AIIMS (Delhi) Doctor Randeep Guleria, Professor and Head of Department of Medicine AIIMS Doctor Naveet Wig, and Chairman of Medanta Doctor Naresh Trehan.

Dr Kumar said that there has been a lot of rumour-mongering around vaccines.
"There is no serious side-effect attached to them (vaccines), rather it's negligible. Vaccine and COVID appropriate behaviour are two things that will help us break the chain," Dr Kumar said.
"The year 2020 brought new virus and we were not prepared. The union government carried its duty responsibly and ramped up testing capability. We must have faith that our government takes concrete and scientific steps with suggestions from doctors, microbiologists, epidemiologists," he added.
