In other Covid-19 news, Briefly News reported that Rami Chuene took to social media recently to share her experience after getting her first Covid-19 jab. The actress told her fans that she experienced side effects after getting vaccinated for the deadly virus.
The former The Queen star was reacting to a tweep who asked people to share their vaccine experiences. Even though the vaccine affected her health, she made it clear that her comment was not aimed at discouraging people from getting their jabs.
The media personality said on Twitter that she "almost died" after getting her shot. She explained that the first four to five days were "hell" but then it got better.
"26 days later I still have some symptoms, numbness in my arm, fatigue, headache, etc. Please, I’m not discouraging anyone to vaccinate. I know that had I got Covid-19, I wouldn’t have survived. No ways."
