The public has been urged to get vaccination information from “credible, accurate sources” by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and cautioned people about the credibility of social media reports.

WHO's immunization, vaccines, and biologicals department director Dr Kate O'Brien, said safety concerns are regularly investigated.  “For some of the vaccines there have been some heart-related issues,” she said.
