We keep hearing about the first COVID-19 vaccines being distributed in the United Kingdom and United States — but what about everyone else? When will the rest of the world be vaccinated? We check in with Al Jazeera correspondents from Baghdad to Beijing on when people there will start vaccinating, and what can be done to get more vaccines distributed.

In this episode:

Zain Rizvi, law and policy researcher for Public Citizen; Al Jazeera journalists Manuel Rapalo in Mexico City; Elizabeth Puranam in Delhi; Jessica Washington in Jakarta; Malcolm Webb in Nairobi; Katrina Yu in Beijing; Charles Stratford in Baghdad; and Dr. Zaher Sahloul, President of MedGlobal.
