Coronavirus: Campaigners demand vaccine be free and available for all

A Carnival March will take place through central London by the 'Free the Vaccine Coalition', which wants any effective future Covid-19 vaccine to be available and affordable for all.

They are asking scientific research bodies to sign up to an 'Open Covid Pledge' which will guarantee any successful vaccine research be free from copyright and patent.

The group have released a lip-sync video to an updated version of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' asking to free the vaccine.

Donna Riddington, a spokesperson for the 'Free the Vaccine Coalition' explained the group's aims.
