Coronavirus: Vaccinating the public

A key part of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic has been the vaccination drive, and the teams of thousands of health professionals and volunteers working in vaccination centres to make that a reality. We connect to three people helping to administer jabs in the UK, US and South Africa, to find out what it's like to be part of the global effort to vaccinate.

Also, as much of Europe combats the spread of Omicron, President Macron of France has said he wants to make life difficult for people who have not been vaccinated. We’ll reflect the conversation in the country about the government’s Covid measures.

Also, the president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, has vowed a tough response to the violent anti-government protests sweeping the country. We'll explain the developments and hear from people affected by fuel price hikes.
