Answer
Perhaps luckily, the government is not directly involved in producing the vaccines. It is not running the studies that look at how well they work.
The government is also not directly involved in deciding which vaccines are approved. They have decided which ones are going to be used though – and we need to see if they have picked well.
Whether or not you use any medicine or vaccine is a decision that you make with your doctor as an individual.
This is one of more than 65 questions about COVID vaccines. It was produced by and for people living with HIV.
