  • Ep1. How Safe are the COVID-19 Vaccines?

    The whole world is watching closely right now as the vaccines are being distributed. The end of the pandemic is finally in sight. However, there might still be some doubts in your mind. How safe is the vaccine? Is it rushed? How does it even work? We spoke with Dr. Kawsar Talaat, who is a doctor herself and has worked over 10 years at the forefront of vaccine safety research, and we asked all the questions you’ve been pondering.

    We rely on listeners like you to ask us questions!
