BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: First Pfizer Covid-19 jabs

The UK begins its mass vaccination programme

A British woman has become the first person in the world to be given a fully tested vaccine against Covid-19. We discuss the latest vaccine and other coronavirus stories with one of our regular experts, Dr Isaac Bogoch. We also go to Slovakia where a preliminary analysis has found that a recent mass testing in the country reduced coronavirus infections by 60% in one week.

The pandemic has led millions of young people to move back in with their parents, and we bring together families around the world to share their experiences.

Farmers in India continue to block roads and railways, protesting against agricultural reforms. We hear about their concerns.
