UK approves Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine

BBC World Service - World Business Report, UK approves Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has been approved for use in the UK against coronavirus.

A new covid-19 vaccine has been approved by the UK medical regulator... so could it be a game-changer? We ask Penny Ward, Visiting Professor in Pharmaceutical Medicine at King’s College, London. Plus we hear from Evan Spiegel, the creator of Snapchat about the idea behind his app sensation. New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the MTA, is in trouble. Many people are shunning public transport in the city because of the coronavirus pandemic and passenger numbers are down by more than 70%; we hear from workers on New York's transport system. And the BBC's Elizabeth Hotson looks at how food outlets have been adapting to the covid challenge. (Picture of a vaccine via Getty Images).
