because the country's vaccination program has been struggling because off to a late start 1st using astra zeneca has job but that was stopped over its ineffectiveness against the variant spreading rapidly in the country. then south africa turned to johnson and johnson's vaccine. that roll out due to concerns about side effects. with a 2nd wave of infection now behind life is starting to appear normal in south africa and it may not stay down for. welcome to this covered 19 special hour of what's in berlin the coronavirus situation in south africa has relaxed in recent weeks the country has now put one of the world's hottest lock downs and 2 worrying waves of new cases behind it the number of new daily infections around 2000 a day just a 10th of what it was in late january the 2nd peak you can see that but the improvement it's a spight a slow start in south africa's vaccination campaign and its battle with a new taters fires variant creech reports. camps bay in cape town a concern about the pandemics. as far away here in the last days of summer many people are still socially distancing but the mas

you know he had restrictions song for example of the use of the astra zeneca vaccine and also there was a pause at the johnson and johnson baxi as south africa tied its own hands by making these restrictions. well i think every i think the 2 issues are different i think the johnson and johnson was a pause with regard to safety concerns and i think that you know that's quite a normal thing media other countries in europe and other parts of the world also instituted a pause in response to the safety concerns until we got information that there confirmed that the vaccine was safe yes that may have had a negative impact on the acceptance of the vaccine but you know i think that again may have been experiencing in other parts of the world with regard to astra zeneca and i think it was it is a complex decision and you know i think it is but i wouldn't say we've tied our hands i think now the government is really secured. you know supply of a number of other vaccine products which are suppose coming into the country over the next few weeks. i thank you very much for taking the time to speak to

well give an example of kenya that has reached out to other vaccine manufacturers besides the astra zeneca that has been widely vaccinated here in the country and now they're reaching out to more done manufacturers in the vaccine manufacturers to see whether they can also supply the are definitely considering the other vaccines besides astra zeneca and johnson and johnson as well as pfizer but getting access to the vaccine is what is the issue and kenya is calling on countries especially the wealthy countries to see if the can donate some of the vaccines to emerging economies or low income countries where the reason difficulty in obsessively and if spoken of the role of other perhaps wealthier countries now stopping the spread in africa is of course important to global health but why has the international response been so lacking. i spoke to some of the health experts today and most of them a saying the world is generally in a crisis every country is trying to make sure that they save. the lives of the a citizens and so countries are not being blamed for not being able to you know voice ou

can it is considering giving away unwanted supplies of the astra zeneca the job favorite to of his province is the latest episode of are going to grow and show then we talked to one of the scientists who developed the vaccine among other things i did hill explains why he thinks blood clots are emerging. you know what's happening there's a huge amount of research going on my own view is that you need both the world picture and the saigon to show the. country to the us it's a very interesting it appears to be emerging just in the last few weeks but the 2nd dose of vaccine most people have to as you know doesn't seem to do that's. a clue as to what's going on i do sing so that we will be able to trust this hopefully in the coming months either it was reducing the dose of luck scene or getting a different route or some other maneuver that's overly immediately or why does it not work so well against a south african variant do we know why because these initial trials and phase are in woodburn or sign off on the chinese one was good your one novak's johnson and johnson don't seem to be effective a

taiwan began as fact the rollout in late march and astra zeneca is the only f.a. both vaccine on the island with blood concerns the facts in asia rate has been much lower than expected even medical staff are reluctant to get a shot why wouldn't use who was born for those who need to travel abroad they're willing to get the shot. before the majority of taiwanese people they're sitting on the fence as local infection rate remains low income. taiwan is one of the top of almos in covert containment with only around a dowson come from cases and trials with a touch that so far but the island is far behind in the facts in asia raise the number of facts in dos and then the start per $100.00 people is only sorrow point 3 in contrast with the global effort 14 point too many taiwanese simply don't feel any urgency to get a jab. when you're going to spend years since the outbreak but life hasn't changed much the only inconvenience is we have to wear a mosque but i'm used to that already so i don't think that's the urgency to get vaccinated compared to other countries. i'm in

the astra zeneca vaccine that after the jab fell from favor into its provinces and indonesia to it was posing distribution of a batch of the jabs after the death of a young man well in the latest episode of going underground we did talk to a scientist who developed the astra zeneca vaccine among other matters adrian hill explains why he thinks reports of blood clots are emerging. i don't know what's happening yes there's a huge amount of research going on my own view is that you need both. the spine got to. contribute to the us it's a very interesting it appears to be emerging just in the last few weeks but the 2nd dose of vaccine most people have to as you know doesn't seem to do that's. that's a clue as to what's going on i do sing so that we will be able to address this hopefully in the coming months either it was reducing the dose of that scene or giving it a different route or some other maneuver that's overly immediately or why does it not work so well against a south african variant do we know why because these initial trials and phase are in would earn or so far the chinese one

we receive funding from astra zeneca and from by their in the by their foundation but we don't do any work that's related to their vaccine development or rollout ok great thank you personally and i can tell us a bit about yourself. so the problem i live in bangkok but i could get into a project i recollect which works for access to medicines in india brazil and south africa and i've been doing this actually for 18 years and then this in start of the bad i mean i've been looking on increasing access to corona virus excellence will give us a sense of what it's like in india right now or is bangalore a big thing that are on lockdown so 500 meters from my house we actually have a contingent of military police who are standing guard at an intersection in traffic usually buses which now it doesn't because there isn't any traffic going on full of locked out we've actually been on lockdown for the last 2 weeks and we would be indefinitely and that's because actually bangalore has the highest slowed in the country it is actually 200. and what your access to vaccines like there. well personally

from oxford is the director of the jenner institute who worked on the team to create the oxford astra zeneca vaccine professor adrian health thank you so watch and adrian for coming on i'm going to declare an interest i've been doubly vaccinated by your vaccine 1st of all i suppose everyone's talking about the same the invariant and i protected against the indian variant quite possibly yes i think it's likely that you are if you didn't actually use a very long time and you and you only so this might drop to a level where it's more difficult for them to protect against the indian variant so your original that's going to be in a small number of people and if you have high and you've got the chance of those you should have thought about solution in most people you'll be protected against nearly all variants to a substantial. now what i mean is you're very unlikely to end up hospital or severely on well you might have some symptoms but it should be a mount infection now i know you helped countless millions of people were there with this vaccine and you're working maybe you moved on working on ma

authorities claiming that astra zeneca had not provided. clinically adequate danger to u.s. regulators for vs reserve like a vaccine let alone what appears to be an incredibly rare blood clot. a symptom that led to an outright ban for a while in european countries it seems. yes i mean there have been some controversies here and from what i've seen the u.s. is anika dates or was. was provided for it for dates that was inconsistent with the subsequent to live analysis and it made a few percentage points difference in terms of their efficacy and i you know i unfortunately some of these organizations are driven by wanting to show their product is very very effective because they're looking to competitors and so they met in some practices that that were let's say. not not fair. but i think at the end of day the vaccine is is a really important part of our fight against it 19 and and we need to be deploying that vaccine as quickly as possible in combination with other vaccines you can already see in europe in the case numbers are are increasing in many places and we need to prepar

the most popular vaccine in india is astra zeneca under the name cobra shield. after 3 weeks she would offer 76 percent efficacy. after the 2nd job at 12 weeks this rises to nearly 83 percent. is manufactured in india with a license from the european pharmaceutical company astra zeneca. until recently half of the production went from here to destinations all over the world. but because of the steep rise in the number of cases a home the indian government to stop exporting. this also applies to the 2nd vaccine produced in india kovacs in it currently can also only be used in india. kovacs and has to be administered in 2 doses 6 weeks after the 1st vaccination it offers protection of 78 percent. the 3rd indian vaccine is awaiting approval psyco wajid come onto the market from mid may. bush will this be enough to vaccinate against the pandemic in india. the big question. is chairperson at the center of a social medicine and community health and john howard our nehru university in new delhi he joins us now say good to have you that's a nation obviously seen as the o

could it be the additives in the vaccine that cause the blood quarter we just don't know with astra zeneca i'm not sure what you mean by additives it's mainly of virus that is is the vaccine itself look we don't know what's happening yes there's a huge amount of research going on my own view is that you need both of our own fracture and the spine to. contribute to the us it's a very interesting it appears to be emerging just in the last few weeks of the 2nd dose of vaccine and most people have to as you know doesn't seem to do there's. a clue as to what's going on i do think that we will be able to address this hopefully in the coming months either way is reducing the dose of that scene or giving it a different route or some other maneuver that sir hopefully immediately or away from the pure science of research here on here on the logistics because of logistics because the biggest problem with that solution on the planet at the moment is not seen supply are not science it's manufacturing it's availability it's getting vaccines or places where there isn't enough i mean israel is supposed to

taiwan began as faxing rolled out in a to march and astra zeneca is the only f.a. level fact seen on the island with but concerns the facts in asia rate has been much lower than expected even medical staff are reluctant to get a shot why wouldn't use a white board for those who need to travel abroad they're willing to get the shot. before the majority of taiwanese people there sitting on the fence as local infection rate remains low income. taiwan is one of the top of all most in covert containment with only around a 1000 come from cases and trials where they touch that so far but the island is far behind in the facts in asia raise the number of facts in dos and the start per 100 people it's only sorrow point 3 in contrast with the global effort 14.2 many taiwanese simply don't feel any urgency to get a job if you don't you know i mean when you go to spend yes since the outbreak but life hasn't changed much the only inconvenience is we have to wear a mask but i'm used to that already so i don't think that's the urgency to get vaccinated compared to other countries

know i think that again may have been experiencing in other parts of the world with regard to astra zeneca and i think it was it is a complex decision and you know i think if you are but i wouldn't say we've tied our hands i think now the government has really secured. you know supply of a number of other vaccine products which are suppose coming into the country over the next few weeks. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us cheryl cohen from south africa's national institute for communicable diseases. now it's time to answer more of your questions about science correspondent derek williams. is there any conclusive evidence for avoiding alcohol before or after receiving a covert 1000 vaccine. asking for conclusive evidence for anything in this pandemic is setting the bar pretty high which is why most of the commentary that i read on this topic has has been pretty head and and i couldn't find any really clear directives issued by trustworthy health care bodies like the c.d.c. or the w.h.o. saying you should stop drinking completely before or between vaccine shots maybe it's

you know he had restrictions song for example of the use of the astra zeneca vaccine and also there was a pause at the johnson and johnson baxi has south africa tied its own hands by making these restrictions. well i think i mean i think the 2 issues are different i think that johnson and johnson was a pause with regard to safety concerns and i think that you know that's quite a normal thing in media other countries in europe and other parts of the world also instituted a pause in response to the safety concerns until we got information that confirmed that the vaccine was safe yes that may have had a negative impact on the acceptance of the vaccine but you know i think that again may have been experiencing in other parts of the world with regard to astra zeneca exene i think it was a complex decision and you know i think if you go back to i wouldn't say we've had our hands i think now the government has really secured. you know supply of a number of other vaccine products which are suppose coming into the country over the next few weeks. i thank you very much for taking the time to spea

commission launched legal action against astra zeneca last month accusing the company of failing to respect the conditions of their current contract public trust has been damaged by reports of rare but serious side effects in the job speaking at the european parliament strasbourg french president among well mccall said he welcomed the move. you know what i would use this vaccine in france in europe and we must continue to do so because it will help us get out of the crisis but for the future or it is to respond to variance in particular we see that other vaccines are more effective so this signals a european pragmatism which i welcome. correspondent joins us now from brussels belgium what reason has the e.u. given for not renewing its order for the vaccine. basically it is a lack of trust into the management of us as a. t.v. but it told the french commissioner who is responsible for the vaccination campaign said there is no rely the plan tabled passed the senate to how to deliver the doses the u.n. has already ordered for this year you have to keep in mind that only one 3rd of the dozers th

these hospital received 1500 doses from astra zeneca as you know from their reluctance to get vaccinated also extends the hospital stuff. office 40 have workers fewer than 10 of them have been vaccinated. so this morning they're making another drive to encourage people to take up the offer their student nurses under hospital security guard people to accept. i believe. the story when it's all. about believe it is true because our sense of the market. at a time when doses are becoming available vassilis dancing cameron seems to be increasing misinformation is not helping and all the while the coronavirus continues to spread. now in kenya the vaccine drive is picking up pace the latest figures from the country's health ministry show 1000000000 people have received a shot off the astra zeneca seen it like many other countries on the continent pandemic has cost so many people their jobs and as you'll see in our next report from nairobi it's also aggravating other problems. with worry for terms of who. to call but. i think the government should stop closing out. if they were closing up and giv

is now offering alternatives to the astra zeneca job for people under the age of 40 that was linked to concerns about blood clot fears as i understand the w.h.o. as consistent people to keep on taking the vaccine what should be organizations position on it now. so we've seen a plausible connection between a very very rare response in some people to the astra zeneca and potentially it's not clear whether it's a platform that's being used it's being used in a couple of other vaccines that research is ongoing now we do see there's a close connection there are some people who may develop the syndrome which involves. their platelets responding in the wrong way and and so many clots so it is very important that people know whether or not they are that person at risk and really do get informed and but it is very very it is one in a story in a 1000000. so even though it can happen the critical thing is to look for any signs that it's happening or to know whether you're a person who's more at risk. we've talked about the difficulty of everybody getting access to a vaccine is part of the problem

and more than a 1000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine have arrived in pakistan as the country imposed a nationwide lockdown for 10 days it's an attempt to stop cases spreading to the muslim holiday of this. u.s. job loss figures are rising again to levels not seen since the height of the current virus pandemic and that's raising criticism of president joe biden's recovery plan with some employers saying it's made the job market worse our white house correspondent could be health care reports from washington d.c. . at this busy miami restaurant the biggest problem isn't finding customers but finding staff we would like to give a 5 lot more. attention to other to their clients that are selling unemployment and they're not coming back that could be one of the reasons the latest u.s. employment numbers show jobs rose by just 266000 in april that's a fraction of the $1000000.00 plus jobs expected unemployment is up in the united states now. 6 point one percent numbers not seen since early april of last year when cope with 19 lock downs wiped out millions of jobs and took the jobless rate t

from oxford is the director of the jenner institute who worked on the team to create the oxford astra zeneca vaccine professor adrian health thank you so what's your agent for coming on i'm going to declare an interest i've been doubly vaccinated by your vaccine 1st of all i suppose everyone's talking about this indian variant and i protected against the indian variant one possibility yes i think it's likely that you are gifts if you didn't actually see the very long time and you and you will be so this mitral to a little.

young man now in the latest episode going underground when talk to scientists saying developed the astra zeneca vaccine among other matters a tween hill explains why he thinks reports of blood clots are emerging. i don't know what's happening yes there's a huge amount of research going on my own you need both of our own picture and the spike up to show. us it's a very interesting though it appears to be emerging just in the last few weeks the 2nd dose of vaccine as people have to as you know doesn't seem to do that's. a clue as to what's going on i juicing so that we will be able to address this hopefully in the coming months either way it's reducing the dose of luck scene or getting a different route or some other maneuver that serve really immediately oil why does it not work so well against a south african variant do we know why because these initial trials and phase are in would earn or sign off on the chinese one was good your one novak's johnson and johnson don't seem to be effective against a south african variant as well as much bigger than a very small trial 2000 equal out of the 60000

from oxford is the director of the jenner institute who worked on the team to create the oxford astra zeneca vaccine professor adrian hell thank you so a chair adrian for coming on i'm going to declare an interest i've been doubly vaccinated by your vaccine 1st of all i suppose everyone talking about the same the invariant and i protected against the indian variant quite possibly yes i think it's likely that you are if so if you didn't actually use a very long time and you and you only so this might drop to a little. it's more difficult for them to protect against the indian variants again so your original that's going to be in a small number of people and if you have high and you've got the charges as you should the vaccination most people you'll be protected against nearly all variants to a substantial look steps not what i mean but if you're very unlikely to end up hospital or severely arm well you might have some symptoms but it should be a mild and i know you've helped countless millions of people with with this vaccine and you're working maybe you moved on working on malaria which kill

human was given 360000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine 5 weeks ago through the global kovacs vaccine cheering scheme 70000 were delivered to tire. we started on april 21st but the donald has been very low one reason is a religious belief that many people have taking a shot in the. fast it's wrong but that has led many people not to come that includes many health workers. in human streets masks a rear room is a not. trivial problem there is still a lot of uncertainty about the vaccine maybe it'll succeed or maybe it will fail. to get. a good effect by coronavirus i took natural herb's and spices that's what our ancestors used i recovered one of us dies only when his time is come those red izzy's is only affect the rich where not among them. vaccines fears a spreading on social media people more scared of the vaccine than the virus and demand of society society needs more awareness and more education that this vaccine is not as dangerous and does not cause blood clots as it's been circulated. yemen a country of nearly $30000000.00 people will receive $1900000.00 doses through the kovac

the world trade organization in september along with south africa to remove the patients on the astra zeneca and also the pfizer vaccine just for the duration off the pandemic that proposal was supported by more than $100.00 countries but strongly opposed by the world's biggest economies by the us by the e.u. and also by big pharmaceutical companies the support from the u.s. now is being welcomed but the other members of the world trade organization will have to get behind it too and if or when that's achieved they will have to be the setting up of special facilities that the some of these vaccines such as pfizer use more. it's technology and that is why this announcement would have been more well at the time that the proposal was made before the situation became so out of control that india allowed a new and more contagious variants of the virus which is threatening not just indians but others too and the scientific advisor on india is called the task force said that vaccines are going to have to be updated because of these new variants will have a race is a member of south africa's ministe

it again and if you get a vaccine to save $400000.00 here would you partner with a company like astra zenecaagain known for some of the biggest $1000000000.00 settlements admitting no wrong doing for wrongly promoting drugs that weren't. went the way they were supposed to be know what you're referring to the important point is the learning like soon as not you. it's a partnership between the university of oxford under-served institute of india the world's largest nazi supplier as we just discussed and there are an ideal our earth for $83.00 x. seemed because they are the biggest supplier of vaccines to local continent of africa and they're known for large scale manufacturers but also the low price of those vaccines of course that's why they're so popular in low income countries because they come to a halt so who for a disease like malaria a predominantly kills children predominantly kills children in africa or hundreds of thousands every year and has been a problem for millennia we urgently need a solution we need a malaria vaccine or actually the technology to make one we just need the inve

that they only have enough doses of the indian made by the biotech vaccine for one day and the astra zeneca for 3 to 4 days there's also a lot of criticism about the prices that private hospitals are charging some of the highest in the world about $13.00 for the astra zeneca $17.00 for the again for the indian ata thought to take a backseat and those public health experts who are campaigning for equitable access to vaccines say that the opening up all vaccines to free market pricing diverts them to the private sector to people who can pay for them most countries in the world are charging for vaccines and india they are supposed to be free for everyone but because of the shortages that is the reality. and the endless talks about the overall picture here in india because those figures would tend to suggest the situation is getting gradually back was your experience. it is getting better in the worst affected state. where the number of cases have come down for long enough now for us to be able to say that it's past its peak its financial capital moment by the country's financial capital and it
