“For example, if the person is coughing it could be tuberculosis or community-acquired pneumonia and it could also be an underlying Covid-19 infection," she said. The J&J and Pfizer vaccines being administered are no longer in the clinical trial phase, “so it is very important to monitor the safety of the vaccines, as we are using them now in the real world".
Any health problem after the jab is considered an adverse event but it does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the vaccine, she explained.
