Prof. Túlio De Oliveira joins from Kwazulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform (KRISP) at UKZN. He is one of the world’s top virologists, virus hunters and bioinformaticians and when he is not speaking to CNN, BBC or Al Jazeera, he speaks to Darren, Keri and Sky.

We had not spoken to Prof Tulio for two weeks as he was on holiday. Most of the questions which were from the team and some from listeners were about the side effects of the vaccine.

If you ever wondered if you will contract COVID-19 after the first vaccine jab and how long until you go for the second jab, Prof Tulio breaks this down in our conversation with him.

For women who are on the pill, there is advice regarding how you should go about vaccination and if it will affect your baby.

Take a listen.
