Mike emphasises the need to focus on ensuring the marginalised and vulnerable are vaccinated globally. We also discuss global inequality, the need for a human rights based approach to health, a vision for equality and social justice and how important citizens’ action is to make Governments and the economy shift to a more equal, socially just, world.
