The Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine is one of the UK’s leading coronavirus vaccines. As this life-saving, cutting-edge science gives hope, Vaxxers invites us into the lab and, with vivid and compelling detail, shines light on exactly how the vaccine was designed and manufactured at huge scale and at rapid speed without compromising on safety.
Its creators share the major milestones of the story, and the sheer hard work and personal pressures they faced along the way. They explore the reasons behind vaccine hesitancy, how science is communicated in the media, and how science and politics collide.
