Coronavirus: Unvaccinated and hospitalised

We hear from people who rejected the Covid jab and became seriously ill

Many patients now in Intensive Care Units around the world are unvaccinated. On today's edition, we speak to two people in the UK and the United States, who were hospitalised with serious Covid-19, after deciding against getting the jab. They talk about their regret at turning down the vaccine, and encourage others to take it up.

Amidst the spread of Omicron, we also speak to a South Korean doctor who explains his country's continued battle with the Delta variant. The east Asian nation reached record daily deaths yesterday, and hospitals are dealing with severe shortages of ICU beds.

And, as always, we take your Coronavirus questions, with our dedicated expert, molecular epidemiologist Dr Emma Hodcroft.
