Breakthrough: The race for the Covid vaccine

Available for over a year

Dr Kevin Fong talks to the people who have seemingly achieved the impossible and created a coronavirus vaccine in a matter of months. Along the way he looks at what it means for people all over the world and asks when our lives will be able to return to normal. Speaking to the scientists who’ve spent the past 12 months with the eyes of the world on them, Kevin wants to know how they tackled the science and what are the biggest barriers they’ve faced. For women and men who usually work away quietly in anonymous research facilities, 2020 has been a year like no other. There are tensions along the way between science and politics, or science and morality. But through it all do we enter a new year with our faith in science been renewed?
