It is very safe!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about any concerns you may have about this vaccine, It is a very safe vaccine and as such you really do not need to get too worried. The minor side effects are often those related to the act of administering the vaccine. Like every other drug, it is not totally void of side effects but the benefits outweigh any potential side effects. These are often transient and have no long lasting effects on you.

In all, it is safe and any changes noted are transient and the benefits form teh vaccine outweigh any potential complications.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
