- Time:
The COVID-19 pandemic has now claimed more than 500,000 lives, including 180,000 in the United States. The biotech and pharma industries are working furiously to develop therapeutics and a vaccine. Several vaccine candidates are now in the clinic, with promising early-stage results reported by Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and others.
Join us for Episode 4 of GEN Live, in which we discuss the state of vaccine development for COVID-19. We evaluate the front-runners, explore the potential of RNA vaccines, ponder the challenges of manufacturing, and tackle questions about herd immunity.
