coronavirus should be ‘completely confident’ about receiving the vaccine, a medical chief has said. Chief executive of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) June Raine has urged everyone who is eligible to get the jag when it’s available to them.
She said the new vaccine, which arrived in Scotland on Saturday, is ‘as safe as any general vaccine’ ahead of the first doses being administered on Tuesday.
Pregnant women and some immunocompromised people are being advised not to take the only Pfizer jab because there is not yet full data about how it could affect them.But Dr Raine, who leads the regulator which approved the jab, confirmed there are "no special precautions or advice" for people who've already had Covid-19,.
