BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: Russian Vaccine

President Putin orders the start of coronavirus vaccination programme in Russia

We’ll look at the latest vaccine and other coronavirus stories with Dr Emma Hodcroft, molecular epidemiologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland. We’ll also talk about Russia’s Sputnik C vaccine.  A list of side-effects has been published today and the government has ordered a large-scale vaccinations to begin next week. 

Also, we've spoken to the doctor in Texas who became a viral story when a photo showed him in full PPE hugging and comforting a Covid-19 patient on Thanksgiving.

And we'll discuss the story behind the top twitter trend #GuernicaDePie in Argentina.  It's the story about families who were evicted from the Guernica makeshift settlement outside Buenos Aires.  They've blockaded a bridge in the city to protest. We hear from some of them.
