Podcast for young people on the fence about getting the vaccine:
A group of young Camden residents who are undecided about getting vaccinated against COVID-19 recently came together with local GP Dr Frances Baawuah to have two open conversations about the COVID-19 vaccine.
They got all their questions answered on a range of topics, including: vaccine ingredients, how and why it was developed so quickly, the risks and benefits of getting vaccinated, side effects, fertility and where to go to get trusted information.
