Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. Almost every day, the media has been reporting updates on the COVID-19 vaccines that are being developed, tested and rolled out in countries around the world. If you’re confused by the names and technical terms being reported, as well as the different efficacy and safety rates for each of them, you’re not alone. We get Dr Giri Shan Rajahram, Infectious Diseases Physician, Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, Sabah, to break down how each type of vaccine works, and to bring us up to date on the latest results.
