PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry is investigating allegations in a viral WhatsApp message that a nurse had died purportedly after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine shot. The report claims that the 45-year-old woman had served at the Penang Hospital and had just received a Covid-19 vaccine jab on March 12. It further said that the woman had suffered sluggishness and breathing difficulties ever since. Since the Covid-19 vaccines have been made available in the world, they have been found to be generally safe. As of March 18, more than 390 million Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered worldwide.
