UK regulator advocates COVID-19 vaccine safety amidst public concern

Dec 3 2020

The COVID-19 vaccine has raised public concern due to its rapid development, as it has broken the record of the 1960s mumps vaccine, which took 4 years to develop as opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine’s 10 months.

Head of Medicine and Healthcare products regulator June Raine affirmed that no corners have been cut in the scientific analysis of the vaccine, with the department going through more than 1,000 pages of readings and data.

Mayor of Greater Manchester and former Health Secretary Andy Burnham affirms his belief in the UK health regulator as one of the best in the world, trusting the vaccine’s safety.

The UK has one of the strongest medicines and vaccines regulatory systems in the world.

I can say that with confidence as a former Health Secretary.

So, please, don’t believe the scare stories.

If the @MHRAgovuk says it is safe, it IS safe. https://t.co/TrApljF9VH
