For a vaccine to work, people need to take it. But some are hesitant.

Tim is joined this week by GP Margaret McCartney, Marianna Spring, BBC Disinformation and Social Media Correspondent, and Professor Heidi Larson, Director of The Vaccine Confidence Project at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and author of Stuck: How Vaccine Rumours Start. Show less
