BBC World Service - BBC OS, Vaccines and religion

We discuss how religious exemptions can impact the decision to get vaccinated

Vaccine hesitancy is a topic of discussion around the world, and one reason some people choose not to get the jab is religious exemption. We hear a conversation between people of different faiths from the United States and South Africa, about their personal vaccine status, and the role of religious leaders in promoting the vaccine.

In the Philippines, at least 375 people are now known to have died after Super Typhoon Rai hit the country's south-eastern islands. We hear the latest, and reach out to some of the people who have been affected.

At least thirty people died last month in a failed attempt to cross the Channel from France to Britain according to a BBC World Service Investigation. We tell you what has been reported so far.
