what do you make of sir andrew pollard's argument that i andrew pollard's argument that actually, younge i appreciate there are some people who are vulnerable and have conditions — but in general the young population is not immediately vulnerable to delta or the the of her variance. there are lots of adults are the world who haven't even yet had a first dose of vaccine. we are privileged and so many ways in this country, is that one way in which we are privileging ourselves too far? it’s one way in which we are privileging ourselves too far?— ourselves too far? it's a more sophisticated _ ourselves too far? it's a more sophisticated argument - ourselves too far? it's a more sophisticated argument then l ourselves too far? it's a more i sophisticated argument then and either— or. actually it really depends on the objective of the vaccination programme. if you balance that, yes, we do need to continue to support other countries, and it is very important because it's not over until it's over everywhere. but at the same time, given we've been enduring this level of burden for them the pande

professor sir andrew pollard, welcome to hardtalk. hello, there.t is pretty much seven months since that historic day when the uk began the roll—out of the vaccine you were intimately involved with developing. that is the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. in those seven months, has the impact of that vaccine been what you expected? well, there has over that seven months been the most enormous impact. i mean, there's now a billion doses of the oxford vaccine which are out the door. and those vaccines are already having that impact. there's almost certainly now hundreds of thousands of lives that have been saved already this year from the vaccine. so the impact is enormous, and i think it's probably more than we could ever have hoped for, given the predictions from even a year ago about how long it would take to get to this point. but i do think that, despite that amazing success, that we're not overall in the vaccine programme anywhere like where we should be because of the distribution of vaccines being so inequitable over the course of the last seven—mo

andrew pollard had this warning to mps. -- to mp's. >> we know very clearly with the coronavirus thatcurrent delta variant will still infect people who have been vaccinated. and that does mean that anyone who's still unvaccinated at some point will meet the virus. i think we are in a situation here with this current variant where herd immunity is not a possibility, because it still infects vaccinated individuals, and i suspect that what the virus will throw up next is a variant which is perhaps even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations. and so, that's an even more of a reason not to be making a vaccine program around herd immunity. kim: other countries with high vaccination rates are also struggling to contain the delta variant. israel, where 60% of adults are fully immunized, is reimposing limits on gatherings and restricting indoor venues to those who have been vaccinated. in the u.s., 70% of adults have received at least one jab, but the pace of vaccination has slowed it down. -- has slowed down. the military, some hospitals, and businesses are now making jabs mandatory

but experts including professor andrew pollard, the man behind the oxford astrazeneca vaccine argue additionaljabshad any vaccinations. going for a major boost to programme in the uk is a really difficult one, both in what we're talking about in terms of what would be a moral failure with no doses and many parts of the world and three doses here, so there is that that aspect. there is also the messaging because that says to the other countries is that we need three doses, and so that has a huge implication for sucking even more doses out of the system. the uk'sjoint committee on vaccination and immunisation is due to publish its findings into the ongoing protection from vaccines before the booster rollout is confirmed but there are already some clues from other countries, including a study of more than 50,000 people in the us that showed protection does lower with time. nference is the medical research company that oversaw that study. their co—founder and chief scientific officer venky soundararajan explained their findings. number one, there is a new variant, the variant of concern, the delta var

the director of the oxford vaccine group, sir andrew pollard, told mps yesterday that spare doses shouldobal 0utbreak alert and response network at the university of oxford. good evening. where do you stand on this issue of a booster campaign? basically, if you think about the situation, ten of the countries in the world out of 194 have around 75% of the covid—19 vaccines. yet, about half of the world's population are in middle income countries and they've only received around 70% or have been able to distribute about 70% of covid—19 vaccines. so, my point and the point of many of my colleagues as well is that this is a global crisis and we have to weigh up global crisis and we have to weigh up the evidence that is available in the global context. we have to be trying to focus on saving lives. globally because number one, that is obviously the right thing to do. but also to reduce the risk of variance of concern developing in areas of the world where there is an intense transmission. the who estimates that 200 health care workers have been pretty gearing this pandemic globally which my b
