Two Kenyan doctors explain why they’re prepared to strike over their working conditions.

Two doctors in Nairobi tell host Nuala McGovern why conditions for health workers in Nairobi are leading to calls for a strike. They include rising death rates, unpaid salaries and lack of a comprehensive medical insurance.

We’ll also hear from two members of US President-elect Joe Biden’s Covid task force about combatting vaccine hesitancy after the United States recorded the highest daily death toll in the world so far.

And as vaccines make people think about a possible return to normality, we hear from those who have had to move in with their parents during the pandemic.
