In the three-minute video, the protagonist of the series, Peter Griffin, is seen in a doctor’s chamber but he is confused, debating whether or not to get vaccinated. “God, I hate getting shot. Why do I have to get this stupid vaccine anyway?” says Peter at the doctor’s office. Then Brian Griffin, an anthropomorphic white Labrador, pitches in stating that “Peter, it’s COVID. You should know how to say it. It’s been well over a year.” Brian can be seen standing with Peter’s precocious toddler Stewie in the doctor’s chamber. Seconds later, Dr Elmer Hartman (Griffin’s family doctor) enters and asks Peter if he has any doubts or questions regarding the vaccine. To which Peter enquires about how a vaccine actually works. Further in the video, Stewie and Brian teleport inside Peter’s body and talk to each other about the science behind vaccination. Stewie is also seen describing how vaccines can help build antibodies to fight the virus and the shots will not only help the individual against the virus, but also help people around them.
