Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome in Spanish
Learn Spanish for explaining the rare adverse event called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
This lesson is based on information provided by the CDC (published May 6 and retrieved on May 7th). Needless to say this information will evolve as we get more data, so 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 that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh its risks.
Check out all our free lessons covering Spanish for COVID-19.
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.
