New Delhi, June 21

Amid reports linking Covid-19 vaccination to infertility among populations of reproductive age, the government today clarified that there was no scientific evidence to this effect.

“The Health Ministry has clarified earlier that none of the available vaccines affects fertility, as all vaccines are tested first on animals and later in humans to assess if they have any such side effects. Vaccines are authorised for use only after their safety is assured,” a statement said. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
