Should we be vaccinating children against coronavirus? - a podcast by The Age and Sydney Morning Herald

As Sydney enters its third week of lockdown and the Delta variant of coronavirus seeps through an ever wider area of the city, new questions are being asked about whether children should be vaccinated.

Today on Please Explain, science writer Liam Mannix, who looked into this for his weekly Examine newsletter, joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the issue further.
