COVID-19 Podcast: Vaccines, safety and women

We partnered with Jean Hailes for Women’s Health on a new resource to discuss COVID-19 vaccination for women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Over the past few weeks, we asked women across Australia what they want to know most about immunising against COVID-19 and today we are excited to share this information in a new podcast.
