The quest for the coronavirus vaccine | Seth Berkley

When will the coronavirus vaccine be ready? Epidemiologist Seth Berkley (head of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance) takes us inside the effort to create a vaccine for the coronavirus. With clarity and urgency, he explains what makes it so challenging to develop, when we can expect it to be rolled out at scale and why we'll need global collaboration to get it done. (This virtual conversation is part of the TED Connects series, hosted by head of TED Chris Anderson and current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers. Recorded March 26, 2020)

Thank you to all the people working hard on the frontlines of this crisis! We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

Thank you! Shalom from Israel--we're such a small country that one constantly hears from neighbors and family about people working on this....both the health care workers and the researchers. More power to you all! I dare to hope that this can lead us eventually to more peace and cooperation in our whole human family.

I'm enjoying this format. The one hour interviews give a lot of time; the interviewers also give guests time to answer and the questions, answers and information is clear, pertinent and easy to understand. Thanks

[satorimystic]

Can anyone say, honestly and without hubris, that we've attained enough knowledge and understanding of human immunology, virology, and vaccination, to be able to prevent these outbreaks from occurring in perpetuity?

[denisdaly]

we need more government research, and joint international research.
