As countries ramp up COVID-19 immunisation, the U.S. and European Union are reopening for tourism.
However, people across Africa are still waiting.

So will a "vaccine curtain" end up dividing rich and developing nations?
Presenter: Sami Zeidan
Guests:
John Nkengasong - Director, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
Gloria Taliani - Professor of Infectious Diseases, La Sapienza University of Rome.
Max Lawson - Head of Inequality Policy, Oxfam International.
