Patient Participation Group minutes – 18 June 2024 Counselling Service – NHS Oxfordshire Talking Therapies Patient Participation Group – 18 June
Intro
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on ethnic minority communities. That’s why it’s so important that we get the #vaccine when we’re offered it. For the facts on the #COVIDVaccine, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
Development
Hundreds of scientists, thousands of volunteers and billions of pounds of funding have meant that #COVIDVaccines have been developed quickly and safely. For the facts on the #COVIDVaccine, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
How it works
The #COVIDVaccines work just like any other vaccine you may have had. They do not contain COVID-19, or anything that has come from animals. For the facts on the #COVIDVaccine, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
Tested
The #COVIDVaccines have been tested on a wide range of people to make sure they’re safe and effective for everyone. For the facts on the #COVIDVaccine, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
Safety
The #COVIDVaccines have gone through the same thorough testing as all new medicines, and have been approved as safe to use. For the facts on the #COVIDVaccine, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
Side effects
Like all medicines, some people might have mild side effects after the #COVIDVaccine, but for most people these don’t last very long. For the facts on the #COVIDVaccine, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus.
