The search for a COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine

Available for over a year

With over 75,000 people infected with coronavirus COVID-19 worldwide and more than 2000 deaths, how close are we to developing a vaccine? And why aren't some of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies rushing to help find one? We hear from Thomas Breuer, chief scientific officer for pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline. And the BBC's Stephen Ryan has been to a microbiology lab which is working to create a viable vaccine. The Chinese Government has revoked the press credentials of three Wall Street Journal reporters in China, in response to an opinion piece that it described as 'racially discriminatory' and 'malicious slander'. We get the latest from Kerry Allen, our China Media Analyst. (Photo: A researcher working on an vaccine for the COVID 19 at Imperial College School of Medicine in London. Credit: Getty Images.)
