Health Minister, Dr Frank Anthony yesterday announced that the ministry is advising against taking the COVID-19 vaccine and filarial pills on the same day.
This announcement was made during yesterday’s COVID-19 update where he stated that while there is nothing that prevents persons from taking the COVID-19 vaccine if they have had the filarial pills, the ministry has developed a protocol to separate the two.
“Internally we have come up with a protocol… just to make sure that we are able to monitor people to see whether there is any side effects, [so] don’t take the two things on the same day,” he cautioned.
