On New Year’s Eve 2020, Mark took his mum to St Charles’s Hospital in London’s North Kensington to get a shot of the new Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, almost a year after the coronavirus had emerged in Wuhan. It’s the science story of the century - how successful vaccines against Covid-19 have been created in under a year. Mark explores how they did it so quickly with Adrian Hill, Director of the Jenner Institute in Oxford behind the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. And against the backdrop of global vaccine hesitancy, and as Covid-19 cases surge in Britain’s second wave, Mark speaks to Peter Openshaw from Imperial College London about the magic of vaccines.
