The board further clarified that there have been 279 reported cases out of which 272 were confirmed to be mild and were resolved within a short period.
On the press release signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the board, it is indicated that all the Adverse Event Following Immunization(AEFI)are under investigations and that non of them has resulted into fatal outcomes.
The board also called upon the public to report to PPB any suspected reactions including deaths for follow ups and investigations.
