Coronavirus conversations: Vaccine volunteers

Taking part in the trials which helped give Covid vaccines to the world

As we look back at the year since the WHO declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic, we speak to two people who volunteered to take part in trials which led to two of the vaccines now in widespread use. How does it feel to have played a part in developing the tool which could bring the pandemic to an end?

We’ll talk about the protesters in Myanmar who escaped after being trapped in four streets in Yangon overnight by security forces. More demonstrations against the military coup are taking place today.

As the world continues to digest the interview given by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Oprah Winfrey, we’ll hear from people who we originally met at the couple's wedding in 2018. How do they feel about what they saw in the interview?
