We’re calling out to young people across NSW to ask your burning questions about COVID-19 vaccination!

We will sift through the questions and get the top ones answered by NSW Health doctors on TikTok and other social platforms.

**Please note that depending on how many questions we get, we may not be able to answer them all.
