New Delhi, June 11: Several posts, videos claiming that COVID19 vaccines can make people magnetic are doing the rounds on social media, raising doubts about the safety of the vaccines.
Recently, videos have been shared stating that the arm on the site of the COVID-19 vaccine has become magnetic have been shared on the social media.
However, the government has clarified that social media posts claiming that COVID-19 vaccines can make people magnetic are baseless.
“It is common to experience mild side-effects like mild headaches, pain or swelling at the injection site, and mild fever after getting the COVID-19 vaccine, but not magnetic reaction, Press Information Bureau’s (PIB) fact-check handle tweeted.
“Do not fall prey to misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and get vaccinated,” it further added.
