She explained in the video that pregnant women, people with severe allergic reactions and people with other medical conditions and complications should avoid getting vaccinated.
She stressed on the fact of how we should still continue to avoid crowded places as much as possible to avoid any infections.
“Avoid going to crowded places. However, if it is necessary to go, follow all precautionary measures.”
