Vaccine explained

The first-ever Covid vaccine has been approved for use in the UK and inoculations could start this month. The UK government says certain groups will get the vaccine first, including people with underlying health conditions, those working in hospitals and older people. But there have also been fears about the safety of these vaccines and the speed of the roll-out. British Asian doctors explain the importance of vaccines for fighting coronavirus in five South Asian languages: Gujurati, Punjabi, Sylheti, Tamil and Urdu. Please click here to listen.
