Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome in Spanish
28:16 Share

Learn Spanish to explain the rare adverse event of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.We used information provided by the CDC) (published on May 6 and retrieved on May 7). This information will evolve as we get more data, so we should always look for updated information when communicating with patients.

In this lesson, we learn how to do the following in Spanish.  

• Discuss a rare adverse event following the administration of a vaccine. 
• Explain the terms thrombosis and thrombocytopenia. 
• Refer to different vaccines against COVID-19. 
• Finally, we will discuss who is at greatest risk and whether the vaccine's benefits outweigh its risks.

LEVEL - ADVANCED

The primary purpose of these lessons is to practice useful Spanish vocabulary and phrases when discussing vaccination against COVID-19. When speaking with patients, you should always use information provided by current trusted medical sources.
