PODCAST | Can you get reinfected with Covid-19? Top prof counts the odds

Vaccines are the talk of the town, but what about the natural immunity (or lack thereof) enjoyed by those who have suffered through Covid-19?

In this podcast, Sunday Times senior science reporter Tanya Farber digs into some of these questions with esteemed Prof Shabir Madhi, a global leader in infectious diseases and a vaccinologist at Wits University, where he is dean of health sciences.

Madhi has also been instrumental in Covid-19 clinical trials taking place in the country.
