Dr Susan Oliver, the scientist, and Julie, the dog, address the vaccine myth that COVID vaccination will cause long-term side effects, which is a concern for some people. They go Back to the Science and explain how vaccines work and why this means that long-term effects are extremely unlikely. They also look at the rare side effects like thrombocytopenia and myocarditis that may occur following COVID vaccination, and share the evidence that these effects are much more likely to occur if you get COVID,

Please note that this video discusses the science, and should not be considered medical advice. For that you should speak to your medical practitioner.
