The rapid spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 is leading to record infection levels in several countries, and vaccination is a key part of the fight against the pandemic. Host James Reynolds brings together vaccination workers in South Africa, Australia, the United States and the UK to share what\u2019s it like to be part of the global effort to vaccinate.

We also hear from two people in the US and the UK who turned down a vaccination. After almost dying, they regret their decisions. \u201cI had no idea what was going into me when they [health workers] were saving my life - the same as I don\u2019t know what\u2019s in the vaccine,\u201d says Jade in the UK. \u201cIt\u2019s silly isn\u2019t it? You kind of overthink one thing but not the other.\u201d
