Biden says all Americans will be eligible for a vaccine by May. What about other parts of the world? 

At his address to the nation last night, President Joe Biden said that all Americans over 18 will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine by May 1. But elsewhere in the world, the picture looks very different. A group called the People’s Vaccine Alliance is calling on Biden to expand access to the vaccine worldwide. Host Carol Hills speaks with Robbie Silverman of Oxfam US, a member of this coalition.
