Kikilias: The beneficial effects of the vaccine far exceed any side effects

The beneficial effects of the vaccine are immensely greater than any undesirable side effects, Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias said on Tuesday in an interview with 'action 24' television channel.

Kikilias: The beneficial effects of the vaccine far exceed any side effects

"The undesirable effects of the vaccine are infinitesimally small as compared to its beneficial effects. This is what the European Medicines Agency, the World Health Organisation, the FDA in the United States and the vast majority of all doctors and specialists all over the world say. A woman taking contraceptives is 20,000 times more likely to have a blood clot. So is a man who smokes and drinks," Kikilias said.

Referring to the national health system, he said that it was being transformed, modernised and was heading towards a new era, in spite of all those who believed the opposite. Specifically, he said: "We fought a huge battle, all of us together, the doctors, the public hospitals, the military hospitals, the private clinics. A battle that we fought every day for the national health system to stay standing, to survive to fight another day. While other strong, rich countries did not hold up, the national health system Greece stayed upright during the pandemic."
