The race to find and make a safe vaccine for COVID-19 is unlike anything the world has ever seen before. If successful, efforts to develop the vaccine will shatter the record for the fastest vaccine, currently held by the vaccine for mumps, which took four years to get to market.
Unfortunately, there's a big difference between finding a vaccine and actually getting it to everyone and as the world's largest vaccine maker says, the race to find the vaccine has not been matched by the capacity to produce it, leaving a wide gap that will take a long time to fill.
