No major adverse effects have been reported from the twin-city following the vaccination of 268 healthcare workers on Saturday. However, there were reports of minor side-effects faced by 21 beneficiaries who complained of mild fever, headache and body-pain.

“The symptoms are quite normal and not a cause of huge worry. While no major incident has been reported, none of the beneficiaries needed any type of hospitalization,” revealed a senior Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) officer.
