Rami Chuene has spoken about the side effects she experienced after taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
The actor shared her experience while responding to Twitter user, Mavumavu91, who asked: “People who have gotten vaccinated please share your experience so we can retweet. Aggressively. The narrative of unconfirmed disproportionate horror stories is flooding the socials and it’s causing a lot of hesitancy.”
