Who would have said a year ago that disruptions to supply chains, and more broadly, our way of life, would not come from a new company, a start-up, or a new economic model, but rather from a virus?
The disruption caused by COVID-19 has been extensive, we cannot control its spread, and we do not understand its behaviour. How it affects our health varies from person to person for unknown reasons, and may include mild symptoms, severe symptoms, or even asymptotic cases in individuals who spread the virus unknowingly.
The Race for a Vaccine is Underway
Over 193 vaccines are currently being trialled, 151 of which are in the pre-clinical phase, and over 42 of which have begun clinical trials (1). Over eight different types of vaccines are being trialled: messenger RNA (mRNA), DNA plasmid, protein subunit, adenovirus-vectored, measles-vectored, vesicular stomatitis virus-vectored, adenovirus associated-vectored, and inactivated virus vaccines.
