the world health organization says there is currently no indication that the vaccine treatments will not work on the reported mutation. more time is needed to examine the strain. studied this mutation. happen beforehis with other strains. they arise and then they take over and become the dominant strain. i think the bottom line is that there are interventions that are needed to prevent the spread. regardless of which variant it is. they are the same. that is what we should be focusing on. that will give us time to figure out the implications of this new variant. that will prevent anti-bodies from binding to the virus. these are questions that scientists are going to be answering in the coming days and weeks. >> how long will it take until we know the response of this variant to the vaccine? i would say it is going to take a couple of days if not a week or more. there are several experiments that need to be run. it is such an important question. it needs to be addressed properly. and we have to let science be the driver. what needs to be done is experiments in the laboratory. the stra

here's the world health organization on that. many people actually currentlyformation, but based on some information they've seen on social media or elsewhere. and they believe it because they've not had access to the right information. that's prompted scientists to upload their own videos — like this one — to try to tackle misinformation on apps like tiktok. our global health correspondent, tulip mazumdar, has been looking at this. a number of studies looking at people's attitudes towards a covid—19 vaccine are under way. preliminary data from 17 countries suggest that people in ethiopia, india, and saudi arabia feel the most confident about taking one, with at least 85% saying they would be immunised. there was more scepticism in countries including germany, france, the us, and also in the drc, where fewer than 50% of people said they would take a vaccine. gary o'donoghue is in washington, dc. i know the bbc has been trying to find out what was discussed at that meeting between the white house chief of staff and the head of the fda. how are we getting on? no
