The Oxford AstraZeneca Vaccine: A Story of Science and Survival In January 2020, Sarah Gilbert and her team at Oxford University were racing against time to develop a vaccine against a mysterious pneumonia. Within weeks, they had designed a vaccine that would go on to save millions of lives from Covid-19. This is their story - a heart-stopping account of the science, hard work, and determination behind the creation of the highly effective Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine. Gilbert and her colleague Dr Catherine Green share the inside story of making the vaccine, separating fact from fiction and explaining how they overcame incredible challenges to produce a life-saving treatment. Their book is an invitation into the lab, where science meets crisis, and hope for the future is forged in the face of adversity. This book offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant scientific achievements of our time, and provides valuable insights into the science behind the vaccine that has saved countless lives.
