In the three-minute video, Peter Griffin debates whether or not to get vaccinated at the doctor’s office, so Stewie and Brian Griffin explain the science behind the COVID vaccine, combining typical “Family Guy” humor and real educational facts.

Stewie and Brian shrink down microscopically to enter Peter’s body, where they explain how the vaccine combats the virus. “Vaccines protect us from illnesses by activating our immune response without the danger of actual infection, thereby training the body to fight off the real thing. Some of the COVID vaccines work by exposing your immune system to proteins, which resemble the spike proteins of the virus but cannot infect you,” Stewie says, as anthropomorphic antibodies fight off spike proteins that look like Meg Griffin.

“We were proud to work with some of the nation’s leading immunologists and epidemiologists on this PSA. And while we never understood a single note they gave us, we took them all,” said “Family Guy” executive producers and showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin in a statement. The PSA was written by Macfarlane, who voices the characters, the “Family Guy” writers and a team of scientific experts and epidemiologists. It was produced by Fuzzy Door, 20th Television Animation, FOX Entertainment and the Ad Council’s “It’s Up to You” COVID-19 Vaccine Education Initiative.

'Family Guy' characters star in Covid vaccine PSAThe producers of “Family Guy” teamed up with the Ad Council to create a public service announcement advocating for more people to get Covid-19 vaccines. Tell me more about how our leaders are making the wrong choices to convince people to agree with them. There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about KayleighGlover0 it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done. Cool of them to do, but they continued the lie that the vaccinated don’t spread the virus. The vaccinated spread it just like the unvaccinated and can cause variants just as easily if not more.
