11:20Now PlayingPope Francis has said the world's poorest people must have access to a coronavirus vaccine if one becomes available. "How sad it would be if access to a Covid-19 vaccine was made a priority for the richest. It would be sad if the vaccine became property of such-and-such nation and not universal for everyone," the Pope said during his weekly general audience from the Vatican. Teams across the world are working to develop a vaccine that will be effective against Covid-19.
