There is nothing metallic in the vaccine, panellists said on a Vaccine QnA run by a local university, rebuffing the idea that the AstraZeneca vaccine has some magnetic component that allows objects to stick to someone who has just had their shot. Clinical microbiologist and infectious disease physician Professor Adam Jenney, and Professor Fiona Russel who is a paediatrician and epidemiologist appeared on a Fiji National University’s Explain the Science 1 panel discussion on the safety, efficacy and roll-out of the COVID19 vaccine used in Fiji. They were joined on the panel by Fiji's Head of Vaccination Taskforce and Public Health specialist Dr Rachel Devi. “Let's look at what's inside the vaccine, what makes the constituents of it. It's got the constituents of any vaccine that we have which has the active agent, or the active ingredient that makes it cause the immune system. It has some chemicals that make it stable, there's amino acid there's a bit of salt, there's a bit of magnesium there,” Dr Jenney said. CLICK ON HEADLINE FOR MORE
