Description
The Long Shot: The Inside Story of the Race to Vaccinate Britain The development of Covid-19 vaccines was a remarkable achievement, made possible by the perseverance of a small team. Against all odds, they overcame numerous challenges to deliver a scientific miracle. This book tells the story of that journey, from the early days of the pandemic to the eventual rollout of vaccines across the UK. Kate Bingham, the leader of the Vaccine Taskforce, recounts the highs and lows of her team's efforts, including the political manoeuvring, miscommunications, and administrative hurdles they faced. Despite these obstacles, her team worked tirelessly to secure the first vaccine doses, saving thousands of lives in the process. This book offers a unique insight into the inner workings of the Vaccine Taskforce, revealing the expertise, determination, and teamwork that made the vaccine rollout a success.
