Health officials are stressing the severity of catching Covid-19 is far greater than the risks of any reaction to the vaccine.

This is in response to the death of a 26-year-old man, now believed to be linked to a rare side effect of the vaccine, known as myocarditis.

It's a treatable condition, especially if caught early.

Covid-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board chair Doctor John Tait spoke to Susie Ferguson.
