Covid vaccines: their legacy & vaccinating teens

BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, Covid vaccines: their legacy & vaccinating teens

What say do teens have over their Covid vaccine? And where next for vaccine science?

James asks Prof Sarah Gilbert what diseases will be next after the success of the Covid vaccines. And what say do teens have when it comes to their Covid vaccine?

The pandemic has strapped rocket boosters onto vaccine science. So where is it taking us next? What other diseases are we about to take on? Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert, architect of the Oxford vaccine, gives me her view. 

Also, given teenagers and parents agree about everything and never have any arguments.... we should be able to rapidly resolve any questions about whose decision it is when it comes to the Covid jab in teens. Dr Navjoyt Ladher and Dr Vanessa Apea join some very honest teenagers to help find the answer. 

PRESENTER: James Gallagher
PRODUCER: Beth Eastwood

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
