Coronavirus: Vaccine regret

BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, Coronavirus: Vaccine regret

Two Americans share how they refused vaccine and ended up in hospital with Covid-19

Despite the life saving properties of vaccination against Covid-19, not everyone has chosen to get the jab - even in countries where vaccines are readily available. Karnie Sharp and James Reynolds hear from two Americans who regret their decisions - including the man who almost died and ended up with a double lung transplant after catching the disease.

We also hear from flight attendants in Nigeria, Spain and the US about dealing with unruly passengers during a pandemic - especially when asked to wear a mask. Plus a scientist in Uganda explains the vaccine situation there during the country’s second wave, and three people share their experiences of getting vaccinated when doses are in short supply.
