Weighing up the Risks and Benefits of COVID Vaccines

Vaccines are one of our biggest hopes in our fight against COVID-19.

With so much anticipation, confusion and disinformation in the public sphere, Jennie Lenman invites Dr Helen Marshall onto the program to discuss how the new vaccines are being rolled out and whether the speeding up of trials should be cause for concern.

Dr Marshall is the Senior Medical Practitioner and Director, Vaccinology and Immunology Research Trials Unit at the Women's and Children's Hospital, NHMRC Practitioner Fellow and Professor in Vaccinology at Adelaide Medical School and Deputy Director and Research Leader, Robinson Research Institute, The University of Adelaide.
