Re-infected Muslim councillor campaigns for community to take COVID-19 jab

A British councillor infected twice by COVID-19 is using his experience with the disease to campaign for more Muslims and other minorities to take the vaccine.

Tamoor Tariq, 31, fell sick with the virus twice, but said his mother remained hesitant to take the vaccine despite his battle with the disease and her own hospitalization.

He said she had fallen for “myths” and false information spread on social media about the vaccine.
