BBC Radio 4 - How to Vaccinate the World, What We Have Learned

Tim Harford reports on the global race to vaccinate the world against Covid 19.

In the penultimate programme in the series, Tim Harford asks a panel of experts what we have learned since the discovery of the first vaccine against Covid 19.

Way back in the distant past that was last November, we rushed to produce the first episode of How To Vaccinate The World. Those were heady days. Pfizer and BioNTech seemed to be able to produce a stunningly effective vaccine using a brand new technology faster than we could learn how to pronounce BioNTech. 
Ever since then the vaccines, and the headlines about vaccines, have kept coming. So in the penultimate programme in the series, Tim Harford asks Rasmus Bech Hansen,CEO of Airfinity, Natasha Loder Health Policy Editor of the Economist and Dr Paul Offit Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia what we have learned in the past four months.
