Episode 1: COVID-19 Vaccination in Singapore

Welcome to the very first episode of Bench Press Podcast! In this premiere episode, we take a look into the progress and challenges of the world's COVID-19 vaccination efforts, using Singapore as a case study. While COVID-19 may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about peace, it is nonetheless a very important issue relating to peace as it threatens our livelihoods and our abilities to go about our daily activities safely. As the pandemic continues to impact our lives, we thought that this would be the most appropriate topic to discuss in our first episode. To facilitate the discussion, we have invited our friend Jenniefer who works in one of Singapore's private healthcare institutions to inform us of the COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Singapore. Let us know in the comments what you think of this episode. And if you like this video, don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel!
