Amiran Gamkrelidze: The first serious side effect was observed during the vaccination process in Georgia

According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health, the first serious side effect was observed during the vaccination process. According to him, the most serious side effect is an anaphylactic reaction, which is observed 15-30 minutes after injection or a little later.

"The main purpose of the briefing is to inform you of the first serious side effect or complication of the vaccination process. As you know, vaccination and any medication are not insured against side effects. Vaccines generally have mild side effects and there are serious side effects. The most serious side effect that develops quickly after the vaccine or drug is given is an anaphylactic reaction that develops 15-20-30 minutes after the injection, although there may be a later reaction", - Gamkrelidze said.

As it is known, the incident took place in Akhaltsikhe clinic "Imedi" today. According to the local media, "Samkhretis Karibche", the nurse became incapacitated after vaccination. After that, the situation on the spot became tense and the family members of the nurse broke the windows of the clinic.
