BBC World Service - BBC OS, Covid vaccine rollouts

How is the Covid vaccine rollout being managed in different countries?

As many countries are starting their Covid vaccination programmes, we look at how the rollout is being managed in different countries. 

Several countries are facing a surge of Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations. We speak to three ICU doctors – in the US, Brazil and South Africa - about the current situation and what has changed in wards compared to the beginning of the pandemic.

Our coronavirus expert of the day, Dr Isaac Bogoch, will answer more listener questions on the coronavirus, vaccines and virus variants.

Rwanda has banned transport between districts and the capital, Kigali, after the rise of coronavirus infections. We get the latest on the pandemic in the country from a local journalist.
