Kumekuwa na taarifa nyingi za kupotosha kuhusu chanjo za COVID-19. Mojawapo ni uvumi kuwa chanjo za COVID-19 zinasababisaha kuibuka aina (variants) nyingine za coronavirus. Lakini je, ni kweli?
Kwa mujibu wa Kituo cha Kudhibiti Magonjwa Nchini Marekani (CDC), Chanjo za COVID-19 hazitengenezi au kusababisha kuibuka aina mbalimbali za virusi vya Corona.
Aina mpya hutokea kwa sababu virusi hubadilika kila mara kupitia mchakato wa asili unaoendelea wa mabadiliko (mabadiliko).
Chanjo za COVID-19 zinaweza kusaidia kuzuia aina mpya kuibuka kwani chanjo inapotolewa kwa idadi kubwa ya watu, itapunguza kuenea kwa virusi na hivyo kuzuia aina mpya kuibuka.

Can COVID-19 vaccines cause variants?
COVID-19 vaccines do not create or cause variants of the virus that causes COVID-19.
No. COVID-19 vaccines do not create or cause variants of the virus that causes COVID-19.
New variants of a virus happen because the virus that causes COVID-19 constantly changes through a natural ongoing process of mutation (change). Even before the COVID-19 vaccines, there were several variants of the virus. Looking ahead, variants are expected to continue to emerge as the virus continues to change.
COVID-19 vaccines can help prevent new variants from emerging. As it spreads, the virus has more opportunities to change. High vaccination coverage in a population reduces the spread of the virus and helps prevent new variants from emerging.
