Are vaccine passports a Covid solution? - a podcast by BBC World Service

The idea of coronavirus vaccination passports is catching on in some countries. We examine the arguments for and against their introduction with Professor Melinda Mills of the University of Oxford, and the BBC's Adrienne Murray talks us through Denmark's digital vaccine passport scheme, Coronapas, which will come into use there next week. Also in the programme, the US economy added almost a million new jobs in March, though employment remains well below pre-pandemic levels, as the BBC's Samira Hussain explains. We have an extended report about the prospects for industrialisation of the cocoa sector in Ghana, which is the world's second largest exporter of the commodity. Nana Aduna is a cocoa farmer whose Ohene Cocoa company offers eco-tours to develop the business, and is keen to expand into cocoa processing. Alan Kyerematen, Ghana's minister of trade and industry, discusses the country's plans for the sector. And Ekow Dontoh, Bloomberg commodities reporter, assesses those plans. Plus, the BBC's Elizabeth Hotson considers the most effective way to make a complaint.
