Dr. Brochero: How does the vaccine work? That’s one of the most common questions that we have, and it’s very important to understand what it is that this vaccine does to your body. So, to begin with, the COVID-19 vaccine uses a small–

Dr. Brochero: part of the virus in order to trick your body into believing that you have the infection. Now, how does this trick happen? What we do is, we take a small piece of the DNA or, in this case, messenger RNA of the virus, we put it into some lipids so this piece of the virus can get into your cells. While your body believes that this is the coronavirus, it informs antibodies and killer cells or soldiers that will go and attack this virus in case you come in contact with it again.

Dr. Brochero: Many of you have asked what’s in this vaccine? There’s a very simple answer. We have previously talked about the messenger RNA. On top of that, we have lipids, which is essentially fat, and salt to help preserve the vaccine.

Dr. Brochero: So, what happens after you get the vaccine? Well, after you get the vaccine, your body gets tricked into believing you have coronavirus. When your body believes you have coronavirus, your body will form antibodies that will help you fight the infection.

Scenery: Dr. Brochero appears on screen in green scrubs in front of a white background. UHC logo appears to the left of him.
Dr. Brochero: There have been many misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines and fertility. One of the things that we do with the vaccine is to trick your body into believing that it has the infection, and with this, producing an immune response that will help you fight the infection. There has been no scientific evidence that fertility and the vaccine has any correlation.

Dr. Brochero: Should immunocompromised people receive the vaccine? And the answer to this is yes. Even people who are in chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants, and the reason for this is some protection from the vaccine is better than no protection.
