Coronavirus conversations: The Oxford vaccine

The Oxford / AstraZeneca trial shows an "encouraging" immune response in older adults

We'll talk coronavirus vaccines with someone involved in the latest vaccine trial in the news. The Oxford / AstraZeneca vaccine reportedly shows an "encouraging" immune response in older adults, although it's at an earlier stage than the other potential vaccines we've discussed recently.

All this week, we're catching up with health workers treating Covid-19 patients around the world. Today, we'll speak to a doctor in the Brazilian state of ParĂ¡, on the banks of the Amazon river.

We're expecting the outcome from the US state of Georgia of the statewide audit after a manual recount of five million presidential votes. With the help of a reporter there, we'll explain what it shows and reflect on how the state became the focus of the presidential and Senate elections in 2020.
