a reflection of a turbulent history. the cities, the mosaic of different people and languages. iran's mountains reveal unparalleled beauty. but it will, yeah, the scenery is magnificent particularly warm in acquisition is exceptionally a special look at a special country. iran from above. start september 16th on d, w. ah, ah, ah, how will coven infection numbers likely develop over the coming months? what effect will the new vaccines have that target the omicron variance? welcome to this week's coven. 19 special. will also be traveling to garner where

agriculture has been hit hard by the pandemic. but 1st we're off to morocco. the moroccan government started a comprehensive vaccination drive last year. now though the project is losing momentum, people standing in line for a cobit vaccination overall. this was the situation in january of 2021. when morocco started its massive vaccination campaign, at the beginning of the pandemic, the north african country introduce strict measures. so as not to overburden it's health system every. one of the 1st successful steps was acquiring the vaccine and then he did a lot of people took part in the campaign from the very beginnings that many have gotten their 1st 2nd and even 3rd shots. today we're doing a 4th shot as a booster from the car. after it's introduction,

morocco made the vaccine available to all of its citizens, as well as foreigners living in the country to walk. i mean, i've been mighty, according to the official count, 80 percent of the population is now vaccinated. this camp in casablanca was set up specifically to receive and distribute the cobit vaccine. most of the doses came from the chinese producers sino farm. to day morocco has around 12000000 doses stockpiled. we met with doctor of eve. molly's i ead who coordinates the national vaccination campaign. fema can she model whenever there was an illness for which there was no effect of treatment, but there's only one solution. and without vaccination, there were no other solutions. and we've all seen whether we agree with it or not. that life was started to return to normal because of the vaccine alarms at lazoodo . but interest is waning. mobile vaccination centers were meant to make it easier

to reach people, but the numbers tell a different story. where is 24000000 people received a 1st dose? only 7000000 got a 3rd, and few of them. $40000.00 have gotten a 4th shot. vaccination centers are and t reports and rumors in the press and on the internet of weakened the populations trust in the vaccine. that's the case across all age groups. we talked to fata, who is 56 and wants to remain anonymous. he hasn't gotten vaccinated and that bars him from many places and regrets you're for groups of there were even doctors that don't want to be vaccinated. well, and i am convinced by them because no one knows better than doctors do other customers. will you hear terrible things about the signed fact that it's closed? did oh so, but look, i have a big problems if i need an official document and have to go to the authorities, all the countries that they ask for my vaccination card. and i don't have one,

not only because there was de la la la la her is she surrounding vaccination status and the rights of individuals was hotly debated in parliament. many civil rights activists say the vaccination path introduced in october 2021 infringes on people's rights. as these golly is the president of the american association for human rights and his unvaccinated. he says, people like him encounter many problems, made them look as long as vaccination is voluntary, citizens should be able to enjoy their basic rights ab, for example, what we accept that unvaccinated people will, shouldn't enter a nightclub or other entertainment venue syllabus can, but that they're prevented from entering an administrative building or a court room because they don't have a vaccination pass also. that's unacceptable. the government failed to make citizens understand that the vaccination was primarily for health reasons and not just administrative purposes. the moroccan government says the vaccination passport

was introduced to keep the epidemiological situation under control to avoid any wave. and by doing so to recover economically. the head of the vaccination campaign is hoping that people will use their common sense is to bend to luca. but in this live, when vaccinations started, there were 2 groups facing off. those in favor of the vaccine pump and those against it can no, no, i think that's normal and ball wasn't in the chalice. we may be a little impatient. we have to listen to the others and try to convince them scientifically how long ago indian the government hopes that can convince more people to get their shots. and it has a large supply, ready to be used. vaccination is still the best way to get the pandemic under control. house organizations if now began to approve the 2nd

generation of m r n. a vaccines which is specifically tailored to battle the new omicron variance we spoke to his railey verola. jest, jonathan gosh, shown me, we wanted to know if the new vaccines are really necessary and how they work. when science covey to infect cell, a co op sit systems, and they start making corona, virus proteins. instead, the pathogens genome acts like a precise instruction manual for making more virus. so if something changes in that manual, if the directions mutate, a kinko's changes in the virus components that a chant out in the army kron variant. one protein structure in particular, has changed pretty dramatically compared to earlier versions of the virus. the spike that don't sit surface, the spike protein is that protein on the surface of the virus which is exposed.

and its role is to interact with the target. so the virus will, in fact, the spike binds to a corresponding protein on the cell, which it's infecting. so long is the spike can bind to the receptor to ace to that is what is going to mediate efficient infection, to help fight off covey. 19 vaccines induce defensive measures in the body. among them, the production of protective antibodies that can recognise and latch on to the surface of the corona virus, especially it's like protein that can stop the virus from docking on to cells to infect them. and like you talked for destruction by other immune system defenders back to the structure of the spike protein changes due to mutation. it can have consequences. the immune system might no longer quickly recognise the invader ami

cron has over time adapted to become all the more efficient for infecting human cells. there are a number of parameters and characteristics that make it a really difficult virus to deal with. one of which is because it has changed some of its surface structure by a mutation. and the spike has a number of changes. it is less efficiently recognized by the pre existing community, either through vaccination or recovering some of the new cove it 19 vaccines use. what's called messenger r n a or m r renee to primal strengths and the bodies immune response in the vaccines contain a short stretch of precise genetic information that causes cells to stop producing

corona virus by protein. not entire viruses as the cells which, if they were infected by solids, covey to it's a novel approach. r n. a vaccines is a shift in concert. if you will, they are software vaccines. they are providing the genetic information, the blueprints in order to instruct our body these. so pick up the are a day and express the spike protein. so ultimately they are generating the same protein that the traditional vaccine would changes to the spike protein could help the variant evade existing immunity. to some extent, one reason why even people who received 1st generation vaccines including messenger r n a vaccines can still catch cove at 19. even in them microns altered spite protein lightly helps provide it with some camouflage ship fast. if the immune

system doesn't react fast enough to stop the rapidly replicating virus entirely, it can contribute to a breakthrough infection. that's still a lot to learn. ah, if we understand the mechanisms of the virus on the one her and the in adequacy of natural immunity. we might be able to come up with solutions that will our width corona and provide and stimulate more effective defences, such that we won't have to suffer from recurrence infection. m r n a vaccine technology has a potentially game changing advantage over other platforms. rewriting the code is a pretty fast and straightforward process and changing it changes the vaccines associated spike protein. so why have only crumbs specific vaccines taken so long

to arrive? this has a lot to do with 2 factors. factor one, we're not sure. the better adapting and refining the vaccine is genuinely going to afford a market improvements in protecting against future infections. and then of course, at the level of the manufacturer, decisions has to be made. when do we bite the bullet and actually now produce a new vaccine? experts hope messenger r n a vaccine technology will help us keep pace with new variance have sounds k, v to as the virus continues to evolve, many people around the world are still not vaccinated against caves at 19. and yet millions of expired vaccine doses end up being swelling away. in some countries,

up to 30 percent of the vaccine doses audit never get used. the devotee reporter hangs when li totes to health economist and michelle stole part about this problem . and once can be done to celebrate irish, dr. michael's delta, why is it that many wealthy countries order so many vaccine doses that some of them end up going to waste? i ski padded me when the pandemic emerged in 2020 uh there were, of course no vaccines. tech are kinda in stock. got it was their 1st time to be developed and they were in could get, oh, i'm comes not the government's in high income countries. wanted to pre order and back then they didn't know which vaccine candidates would be successful in clinical trials, which ones would be approved and which would be really effective in fighting the virus. could cbs, yeah, often fight inch tufts, as it says, to minimize the risk of betting on the wrong vaccine. instead ordered large

quantities of several different vaccines than it is. he has it not here been there . i know that way. if one didn't work out, they'd still have enough doses from another developer who's vaccines successfully made it through the trial phase. i go to maine, the com. i went in to that and now we know a lot more about the vaccine. so why can't government just order less money? teak, politicians tend to take a wait and see approach, and they're still risk averse today. should have been done and under no circumstances do they want to face accusations in the fall or winter that they were ordered to little todd, vicki. gov, so governments would rather order more than they need it already. and it's still the case today that some of the vaccines being adapted for the omicron variant are still in clinical trials and need to be tested there to now i don't know how reliably manufacturers will be able to deliver those shots and fall and winter. so here again, governments would rather order more than be accused of ordering 2 little this to be

states yet, and had mike in countries just donate the surplus testers, for example, to kovacs the you know, should have that supposed to be ensuring fair global distribution of, of a pipe fair, the timeline has lately good, good after im, starfish vaccines are being donated mainly via kovacs. but it's also happening by laterally between individual countries. but often it's far too late, and the vaccines are only cleared for donation when they're shortly before they're used by dinner. countries. getting doses via kovacs may have been dealing with the big logistical hurdles and may not have always managed to use the doses on time. exact local infrastructure is sometimes the issue, but you also need the technical expertise to organize the vaccine rollout that and that's what's missing in many countries, theaters, and few linda knew now that you've had an idea that could help improve things. it involve vaccination rewards in wealthy countries and could you explain that back back in stock if any vaccine waste and the destruction of doses happens because the

doses have a limited shelf life, make their money as i inside fence to her when, when you also have a limited time window to actually administer the doses after they've been delivered, so that they don't expire. then you need to create targeted incentives to ensure a high vaccination rate in one solution till is a financial vaccination reward that could be, that could be paid out to people on a 1st come 1st serve basis, g house obedient, a d. and for example, the premium people receive could be anywhere from $100.00 to $500.00 euros for getting the complete triple vaccination. well, for your identified steady info riser, mrs. driver that would help drive up vaccination rates and also reach people in germany and other high income countries that have not yet been vaccinated. who i'd consider miss tub in thank you. have it infection rates in ghana and not a concern right now,

but the economic impact of the pandemic is still being felt in particular, gone as agricultural sector and it's women. farmers have large hurdles to overcome . ah, priscilla adam left her corporate job to go into commercial farming in 2019 months before the outbreak of the cove at 19 pandemic. before cove it, she was able to cultivate much of her if it is 6 acres of farmland, growing all kinds of crops, like onions, oh, cra, tomatoes, and man york. but her income has dwindled since cove it. she's unable to access extra funding to aqua, heavy equipment and labor to cultivate more of her from land. so everything has more than 100 percent doubled. so if i was using, let's say 20000 cities for am my own yonce. bam, ron,

i need more than 50000 cities for dawn. so, and i mean that will not be any logical reason or economic good economic reasons for me to do on a bigger scale. unless of course i get a father, i got that. why, why not? i really want to do more. i rooms woos or even bigger. she has struggled recently to access good, see fit alliances and i grew chemicals for here, found green at this shop. here you drop it. laces and chemicals are in short supply. i don't, is worried about her production this year. what a fight lasers were doing was that it was dest, complementing their manuals thou ways. we always use them. so just a complement, so that things can be, i mean, that the crops can grow faster. yes. so, i mean, it hasn't been charlie, you don't like um, you can't get it at all. what do you do?

you just pray that what you are doing already work fi, mo, pharmacy make up nearly half organic crop producers. but the luck of land ownership, i'm limited access to market and means of finance. and production remained major challenges, but pharmacists very keshay are benefiting from our drums advancement of the icon sans and her experience in introducing new farming methods we didn't are way. um, we have benefited a lot from her training laser. it has helped us to apply the necessary fertilizer for our crops, new book, and use chemicals to protect them. more money, money via debbie. hi. she has been very supportive. i worked in with cove it still having an impact. ghana now has a digital platform to hope from is rich consumers directly with the alien, proven revenue and reducing post to harvest losses. and just like most of this

e commerce website, we have a mobile gratian and in a word version. and the idea is at farmers can direct the reach market rich consumers. and this will cut boost harvest losses. i don't have joined the pharmacy to launch a vegetable pharmacy association aimed at reviving this soccer in a post cove in mines, in error. she hopes to inspire other women to take to their fields. but whom do i don't isn't given up. she is even growing all kinds of crops and socks. busy in the hope that hey hardwig will bring it brighter moments in the years to ah, do you have a question about the corona virus of science correspondent derek williams, gives you the latest research and analysis. send derek and e mail by writing to covey producer at d. w dot com this week, he's answering

a question from sandra. after having coven 19, how long should i wait to get vaccinated in order to based my immunity? this sounds like a straightforward question, but it really turned into kind of a nightmare to research. that's because with 4 or sometimes even more shots being recommended for some people by some healthcare authorities. there are now just a lot of different possible combinations of vaccination and infection. and if you already had the full 3 shot course, for instance, do you wait just as long to get a 2nd booster after a breakthrough infection? as someone who got covered 19, who was on vaccinated beforehand. complications aside though, the basic message is that if you're eligible for vaccines, you should get them whether you've been infected with

a disease or not. i'll get to the specific advice from different health care authorities in a minute. but 1st, i'd have to mention a factor that most experts agree on which is that people who have been both vaccinated against the corona virus and been infected with it in whatever sequence they generally exhibit high levels of immune protection. the, the $12.00 punch of vaccine plus infection. it's called a hybrid immunity. and studies have shown that it seems to be more durable and more potent than either vaccination or infection alone. which is why, for example, germany's standing commission on vaccination recommends a booster for eligible groups at least 3 months after infection. but

it also says it can happen as early as 4 weeks after coven 19 symptoms have passed. in britain, where the committee on vaccination has often forged its own path throughout the pandemic. that the recommendation is that eligible adults wait to get a vaccine for at least 4 weeks after infection. while kids in general should wait for 12. the australian authorities say every one who's eligible both children and adults should wait for 3 months. in the us. the cdc is, is pretty canny in the language that it uses. it's website says that eligible people may consider delaying their vaccine by 3 months from when send them started . which sounds like less of a formal recommendation and more of a, a gentle suggestion if you ask me. but one way or the other,

pretty much all of those health care authorities seem to agree that if you were eligible to be vaccinated, and then you can't coven 19, and then recovered from it. you should definitely get a vaccine to kick in hybrid immunity after 3 months or so. m dash misinformation has been rampant throughout the pandemic. and our next report shows how it's affected thousands of dogs in columbia. after boomers spread, that dogs could transmit the corona virus. many pets were abandoned by their owners . now my thought he saw beautiful vessel, but he also seemed incredibly old. i'm pretty sure he was abundant in omaha carmella cock. i'd been bah, bah, pucker was probably left on the street by his previous owner at the beginning of the pandemic. animal rights activists. andrea galindo was the one who found him

during the lock down, rumors were circulating that posed a threat to every dog in bogota. they just had a fight that really, that was horrible. has hit a collateral for people felt the doctor was spreading. cova don't out. even though it says people just abandoned those. no matter how long they'd hotdogs 4 pallets he'd been 25 even 7 years. so sonya love, windows icon, don't know. i thought it was just merciless and terribly hard on the animals. what came with 20 my lead. okay. nice. they weren't used to surviving on the street. oh, i did when suddenly they were alone. live about for over 2 years, volunteers have been working to care for the strays they collect food and try to provide veterinary care. but there were just too many dogs. info says at the amazon, yes, we receive donations and people how tonsils carefully area. there is a lot of solidarity that i hate to let people have to be able to a flood. and i,

a son does a lot of social inequality and i'll come to trial this fun get on this. and those are kinds, equity, and that means we can't take care of all the animals. ha, ah, a boy every day got up, bowls isn't any malice. some of the dogs are lucky and find a new home. the son of paco's owner is really happy about having a new family member and pocket. clearly he's pretty happy to. oh, and what's the put up that a nurse to many stray dogs roaming around, feeling cove, but we can improve their lives. yes, i'm you. for animal welfare activist, andrea galindo, paco's new life is validation enough for her work. she has lost count of how many dogs she's helped, and every animal she finds has a place in her heart. no, and i said it's hugely gratifying. i always tell myself that one less animal that suffering ah, there were still over $60000.00 stray dogs in bogota,

and each one also hoping to find a forever home and that so for this way, thanks for watching. see you next time ah ah ah, with
