In a wide ranging report released on Wednesday night entitled Covid-19: Make it the Last Pandemic, the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response made a number of recommendations to battle the current global health situation and ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Among the recommendations is giving the World Health Organisation more power to announce disease outbreaks without first getting permission from the host country and that wealthy nations should donate vaccinations to poorer countries to stop new variants of COVID-19 from developing.
Today on Please Explain health reporter Mary Ward joins Nathanael Cooper to bring us up to date on the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines.
