Samajwadi Party leader, Ashutosh Sinha has claimed that Covid-19 vaccine may lead to impotency. While dispelling the above charge Somani on behalf of DCGI said that, ‘we will never approve anything if there is slightest safety concern. It is absolutely rubbish to say that people may become impotent through this vaccine. I request you to ignore such statements.’
