At Vodafone we’re on a drive to get as many of our people as possible vaccinated, so we invited Dr Siouxsie Wiles to host a livestreamed Q&A session for all staff yesterday. Dr. Wiles spent a highly informative hour sharing the important facts and figures, as well as answering the various questions Vodafoners had about topics ranging from how our immune system fights COVID-19, what side effects the vaccination can cause, to how vaccines actually work.
Here are some of the important links discussed in the livestream for onward sharing:
