Two British virologists reveal the inside story of making the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and the cutting-edge science and tireless work that brought success.
What The Reviewers Say
Vaxxers is an excellent and readable account of lab life, describing not only the Covid-19 vaccine research itself but issues such as obtaining supplies and publishing results, which apply to science more generally—though rarely under such pressure as Gilbert and Green describe.
... [an] urgent and sometimes rather raw book.
... a welcome glimpse inside the race to develop COVID-19 vaccines in the middle of a raging pandemic.
... [an] amazing story.
