“The mRNA is very small that no microchip can be inserted in it and it does not interact with the human genome,” he said.
Hence, he called on the public to only trust the official message or information from the government or the review literature from reliable journals on the subject.
He said the public also can refer to the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Handbook, which contains information on the types of Covid-19 vaccine used by the government, the facilities provided to store the vaccines, religious views on the vaccination and immunisation guidelines, among others.
Dr Rohaizat also stressed that the Covid-19 vaccine will not cause long-term harmful side effects on people’s health.
