When Will a COVID-19 Vaccine Be Produced?

The Australian Academy of Science has just published a new fact-checked video explainer titled ‘When will a COVID-19 vaccine be produced?’

The two-minute video features Professor Damian Purcell, Group Leader in Viral Infectious Diseases at the Doherty Institute, answering the following questions on a vaccine for the virus that has upturned society like nothing before:

• How long will it take to produce a vaccine?
• What is being done to find a vaccine?
• How difficult is it to produce a vaccine in a year?
• Why does it take a long time to make a vaccine?
• Are scientists confident of developing a vaccine?
