- 醫學
With the COVID-19 vaccine rollout started, many people have questions about it. Is it safe? Does it work? What is the government doing to protect me? There are also multiple equity considerations about how the vaccine is distributed amongst nations and within each country as well.
In this episode, my guest and I will try to answer common FAQs about the COVID-19 vaccines, dispel myths and provide an overview of the equity considerations. I am delighted to introduce the special guest for the episode, Dr Indira Govender. Dr Govender is a Public Health specialist and Clinical Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Dr Govender has vast experience both academically and clinically. She has previously worked for MSF (AKA Doctors without Borders) in South Sudan, as well as on the frontline during the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. She is currently based at the Africa Health Research Institute in Somkhele, KZN South Africa, where her population-based research interest is TB infection control in health facilities.
I look forward to your questions and comments. You're welcome to leave a voice note in the links below that will be featured in future episodes. Don't forget to rate and subscribe wherever you enjoy your podcasts.
PS: keep trying to change the world.
