The first group of Australians are due to get their first coronavirus vaccines in just a few weeks’ time. But what happens after you’ve had your two shots? We asked scientists some of your top questions about life after the vaccine.



Highlights

  • Vaccines work by introducing the immune system to a blueprint of a virus
  • According to the Department of Health spokesperson, the government is “on track” to complete its vaccination program by October.
  • In Australia and beyond, health authorities are recommending everyone still maintain social distancing and other safety measures after getting vaccinated.
