Chinese "Sinopharm", while health authorities continue to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] with the British "AstraZeneca" vaccine since last March.
But despite this, a large percentage of Iraqis are afraid of receiving vaccinations for various reasons, including the emergence of voices skeptical about the vaccine, including clerics and even doctors and politicians, who adopt conspiracy theories and that the vaccine will have long negative effects on the person, which is what called the Ministry of Health to intervene and prosecute a number Of them, while some of them, specifically those who were infected with the virus and recovered, believe that the acquired immunity from the natural anti-virus is better than the vaccines that are subject to a lot of criticism. According to officials in the Iraqi Ministry of Health, false information about vaccines is exacerbating the health crisis in the country.
He pointed out in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "the British vaccine has many doubts, as is the case with the Chinese vaccine, but I am waiting for the American vaccine" Pfizer "to spread in the country, because I trust it in terms of effectiveness, especially since more than 100 million An American citizen received the vaccine and no side effects occurred. "
He considered that "there is exaggeration in terms of the number of people infected with Corona during the current period and an exaggeration in the numbers by the health authorities in order to push the Iraqis to vaccinate."
As for Harir Al-Janabi (34 years old), who received the vaccine two weeks ago, she indicated that "Iraqis are afraid of everything new, specifically what is related to their healthy lives." "In Baghdad, to receive the vaccine, and no one from her family participated in this option, because they think that the vaccine will not work, and that obtaining natural immunity by taking vitamins and food resistant to the virus is the best."
Al-Janabi added that "the fears of Iraqis are natural, and the Iraqi government and the Ministry of Health had to launch massive media campaigns in order to convince citizens of the importance of the vaccine, and that it does not harm and is not dangerous, but the ministry is busy with intimidating people by announcing large numbers of the injured and the dead."
Iraq has no alternative but to promote vaccines, especially as it tops the list of Arab countries as the country with the most recorded infections and deaths from the Coronavirus.
A spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Health, Saif Al-Badr, said, "Most of the rumors that spread in Iraq about the vaccine stem from people who did not receive the vaccine, and therefore their information about the vaccine is incorrect, and the side effects, which last for hours after receiving the vaccine, are normal and may occur. About most of the well-known health organizations in the world, including the World Health Organization.
