THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK *Chosen as
a Book of the Year by the Financial Times, Sunday Times, Daily
Mail, Prospect, Guardian and The Times* This is the story of a race
- not against other vaccines or other scientists, but against a
deadly and devastating virus. On 1 January 2020, Sarah Gilbert,
Professor of Vaccinology at Oxford University, read an article
about four people in China with a strange pneumonia. Within two
weeks, she and her team had designed a vaccine against a pathogen
that no one had ever seen before. Less than 12 months later,
vaccination was rolled out across the world to save millions of
lives from Covid-19. In Vaxxers, we hear directly from Professor
Gilbert and her colleague Dr Catherine Green as they reveal the
inside story of making the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and the
cutting-edge science and sheer hard work behind it. This is their
story of fighting a pandemic as ordinary people in extraordinary
circumstances. Sarah and Cath share the heart-stopping moments in
the eye of the storm; they separate fact from fiction; they explain
how they made a highly effective vaccine in record time with the
eyes of the world watching; and they give us hope for the future.
Vaxxers invites us into the lab to find out how science will save
us from this pandemic, and how we can prepare for the inevitable
next one.
