Around the world, millions of people are receiving their first dose of vaccines against Covid-19. Healthcare workers are often prioritised and today we introduce two hospital workers; a porter here in the UK and a cleaner in the US. They share their feelings about what it鈥檚 like doing a job that comes with a high risk of catching Covid-19. Host Nuala McGovern hears their stories. They share the pride they take in doing their work, despite feeling they don鈥檛 always get the appreciation they deserve.

We also hear from two young adults in the UK. They have just received their first vaccine because they are clinically vulnerable. They tell us how relieved they are, after having to stay mostly indoors, since the start of the pandemic. Meanwhile, Israel extended its vaccinations to 16-18 year olds to enable them to return to school. We hear from two teenagers about the growing prospect of going back to some form of normality.
