The MoH emphasizes that no unexpected side effects, including blood clotting with thrombocytopenia, have been observed among those vaccinated in Kuwait. Additionally, no significant increase in blood clots has been linked to the vaccination program.
The Ministry highlights the critical role of vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and protecting vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly and immunocompromised. They state that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the potential risks of rare side effects, especially considering the higher risk of blood clots associated with COVID-19 itself.
The statement clarifies that all approved COVID-19 vaccines in Kuwait have been rigorously evaluated and authorized by international medical bodies. These vaccines can also be adapted to target emerging variants.
The MoH reiterates its recommendation for specific population groups to receive vaccinations following established protocols. They emphasize the ease of access to vaccination data and COVID-19 vaccine certificates through the government’s “Sahel” app. This platform provides citizens with a convenient way to access essential health information and services.
This announcement by the MoH aims to dispel public anxieties and promote confidence in the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines used in Kuwait. They encourage widespread vaccination to control the spread of the virus and safeguard public health.
