THE Health Ministry (MOH) says allegations of students experiencing adverse reactions after receiving Covid-19 vaccine injections as seen in a viral video on social media are fake.

The ministry instead explained that the video was an old one related to a gas poisoning incident at a school in Pasir Gudang, Johor in 2019.

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia’s Quick Response Team said this in a statement today, referring to the video with the caption “Look at this! Incident at a school that was hidden by the MOH. Many severely affected after Covid-19 vaccine injection.”

“The public is advised not to spread any false information that can cause confusion and concern among the people but instead refer to the MOH’s official social media platforms to obtain authentic and up-to-date information,” said the statement. – Bernama, February 23, 2022.
