Description
The Long Shot: The Inside Story of the Race to Vaccinate Britain by Kate Bingham and Tim Hames In the face of an international crisis, one woman's perseverance paid off in a scientific miracle. From her remote cottage, Kate Bingham juggled vaccine suppliers, Whitehall, and the media circus as deaths mounted and the world shut down. Despite political manoeuvring, miscommunications, and administrative meddling, she secured the first vaccine doses administered in the West, saving thousands of lives in the UK. The story of how Covid-19 vaccines went from laboratory to people's arms is one of remarkable achievement against all odds. This book provides an insider view into the Vaccine Taskforce's efforts, revealing the challenges they overcame and the expertise that ultimately paid off. With the UK now nearly fully vaccinated, this account offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a national campaign that has saved countless lives. With unprecedented access to the key players involved, Bingham and Hames deliver a gripping narrative that sheds light on the often-overlooked world of vaccine development and distribution.
