Why Aren't We Vaccinating the World?

Panorama

21st February 2022 29 mins Season 70 Episode 7

The best way to win the battle against Covid is to vaccinate the whole world, but in poorer countries, not enough people are getting the job. Only six and a half per cent of the population in low-income countries are fully protected. There are now enough vaccines being made for everyone on the planet, so why aren’t they being shared more fairly? Reporter Bronagh Munro investigates why the global vaccine rollout is failing and asks if governments and big drug companies could do more to keep us all safe.

Maternity Scandal: Fighting for the Truth

It’s one of the biggest scandals in the history of the NHS - many babies died whilst others were left with life-changing injuries following repeated failures in maternity care at hospitals in Shropshire. Reporting for Panorama, the BBC's Michael Buchanan who first investigated the extent of this hidden tragedy meets families who have never spoken out before and former insiders who describe a dysfunctional culture that contributed to the truth being buried for so long. The programme also hears from the former midwife who is leading an official inquiry into what went wrong, ahead of her full findings being published next month.
