New videos explain COVID-19 vaccination in language

ARA has produced new videos in language to share accurate information about COVID-19 vaccination.

Each video features a medical professional and a member of the community explaining:

• the importance of vaccination
• how the vaccines were developed
• the safety of the vaccines
• how to find accurate information about the vaccines, and
• side effects of the vaccines

The videos also show an actual vaccination appointment with a step-by step explanation and information about how to book a vaccination.

The videos are available in:
