The Times bestseller FT Book of the Year On 3 April
2020, Kate Bingham was told that the likelihood of any Covid-19
vaccine working was 15% at best. But on 8 December 2020, the first
NHS patient received a vaccine. Now nearly every adult in Britain
has had a jab, lockdowns have ended and we can finally live with
Covid. What lies behind this staggering success story? From a
cottage miles away from Westminster, Bingham juggled vaccine
suppliers, Whitehall, the media circus – and her daughter’s
exams. Political manoeuvring, miscommunications and administrative
meddling nearly jeopardised the project. But perseverance paid off.
Catapulted into a national crisis, Bingham’s eclectic team
secured the first vaccine doses administered in the West and saved
thousands of lives in the UK as new variants struck. This is an
unmissable insider view into how the Vaccine Taskforce beat the
odds and delivered the scientific miracle we all waited for.
