Coronavirus conversations: Developing Pfizer's vaccine

We're reflecting on a year since the Covid-19 outbreak was officially declared a pandemic by the WHO. One of the most important tools now being used to tackle the disease are the vaccines now in use around the world. Nicholas Kitchin is a Senior Director in Pfizer’s Vaccine Clinical Research and Development group and you'll hear him describe what it was like to be part of the development of the Pfizer / BioNTech jab.

We’ll also get your questions answered on the latest coronavirus news with our expert of the day, Dr Maria Sundaram, including whether aspirin might offer some kind of protection against the virus.

And we’ll talk about the latest demonstrations in Myanmar against the military coup, with the security forces targeting railway workers who were taking part in a general strike. We’ll also hear our reporter in India who has been to the border with Myanmar to speak to Burmese people who have left their country.
