After the long read, the author of the article, Danini Marin, joins host Federica Santoro to dig deeper into the state of the COVAX programme in the region, how organised crime is taking advantage of the pandemic, and why substandard and falsified vaccines pose such a serious risk to public vaccination programmes.
