Wednesday mornings with Prof Tulio mean that all you COVID-19 related questions are taken care of by the UKZN's top virologist and bioinformatician. In today's session with him he answers the following:

-Is it safe to donate blood after receiving the vaccine, is there a waiting period?
-Most people who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine seem to have trouble obtaining the digital vaccine card. Any advice?
-Kids between the ages of 12 and 17 can now get the jab - Is it as safe for kids as it is for adults?
-Do we have any further information on when the Johnson & Johnson booster vaccine would be available?
-I have had my first vaccination, is the 2nd vaccination a replica of the first one, or is it stronger than the first one?
-When is the best time for a pregnant lady to get the vaccine and is there a preference between Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.
