![]() ![]() #Covid vaccine magnetix skin#Nevertheless, it must be noted that metals and other objects sticking to the skin is a possibility under some conditions such as sweaty skin and positioning of the objects etc. ![]() For instance, the girl reported that she had her vaccination in May 2021 and in a video clip said to have taken her first jab in December 2021, when the vaccines have not yet arrived in country.Īs such based on investigations into the matter, the Ministry of Health would like to assure the public that the claim of mobile phone sticking to the young girl’s arm due to COVID-19 vaccination is not true. Senior staff and nurses at Fauambu clinic who reported that the young girl visited the clinic twice for her concerns confirmed that based on their assessment, she was booked for referral to Kilu’ufi hospital for further medical assessment and psychiatric analysis due to inconsistencies with her conversation, story and behaviour. She was even asked to stand under the sun but the phone still did not stick to her arm. #Covid vaccine magnetix android#The health team investigated the claim by placing an android phone against the injection site and the phone failed to stick to her arm despite multiple attempts and with various positioning of the phone. It was only after she heard the rumours of phone sticking to the injection site that she decided to check it on herself. At that time, she did not reported any magnetic effect resulting from vaccination. These symptoms are all reported adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines. According to her, she experience minor side effects such general body pain, dizziness, and having poor appetite upon returning to Malaita province. The health team managed to verify through her mobile phone number, since she lost her vaccination card that she was vaccinated with 1 st dose Sinopharm on the 17 th of July in Honiara and missed her 2 nd dose which was scheduled for the 7 th of August. When out in the field, they managed to locate the young girl and conducted interviews together with nurses of Fauambu clinic, in north Malaita. Team deployed comprised of Kilu’ufi hospital and the provincial health promotion staff. This is irresponsible on the part of the media firm.Īs such, the Ministry of Health though knowingly that the COVID-19 vaccine could not be responsible for a human body turning magnet, carried out an investigation into the claim anyway as it might be due to other medical conditions or factors as the health of the young girl could be at risk if truly she is magnetic. The article also displayed total lack of respect for privacy and confidentiality of the individual by proceeding to publish the story without her knowledge and consent. The report last week did not verify the claims at all both with the Ministry of Health and the young girl, the subject of the article. ![]() This is very important as we continue to deal with vaccine hesitancies and strive to speed up uptake across the country. In this case, the Ministry of Health should have been consulted for a response to the matter prior to publication. This report is not only misleading but more concerning is the fact that it lacks key fundamental principle of journalism which is to tell the truth, truth in a practical and functional sense which we can operate on, on daily basis. The Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) would like to condemn last week’s newspaper report of a young girl in Malaita province who claimed to have her arm turned magnetic attracting android phone and other metal objects after getting her first COVID-19 vaccine jab.
