"Former federal MP Dr Kerryn Phelps has talked this week about the medical
problems she and her wife had after their COVID-19 vaccinations around 18
months ago.

In her submission to the parliamentary inquiry into long COVID, Phelps said her
wife Jackie Stricker-Phelps had ongoing neurological problems after her first
vaccine. Phelps herself experienced breathlessness and blood-pressure
fluctuations after her second dose.

This has prompted public discussion about severe side effects, known as
“adverse events”, after COVID-19 vaccines.

We’re vaccine experts and while we can’t specifically comment on Phelps’
concerns, here’s how adverse events are tracked, confirmed and prevented."
