Almost five years after COVID-19 was discovered, disease experts say we’re unprepared for future pandemics.
Funding to prepare for catastrophic outbreaks is lacking and vaccine distribution remains unequal.

Amid these challenges, a landmark 3-part Al Jazeera series explores the lessons of the worst health crisis of the 21st century and meets those trying to ‘pandemic proof’ the planet.
