It was reported on Monday that the University of Oxford developed a
coronavirus vaccine that appears safe and triggers an immune
response. Another study from King’s College London from the
previous week, however, seems to show that immunity to COVID-19 may
only last a few months. And the science of developing a vaccine is
only one of many hurdles. Once a vaccine is deemed safe and
effective, there are many unanswered questions about how to
manufacture and fairly distribute it. In this hour, we talk with a
panel of experts about where we are in developing a coronavirus
vaccine and how a vaccine should be distributed.
