COVID-19 Infection and Vaccine Development

In this video, we explore how COVID-19 vaccines work; first by understanding how SARS-Coronavirus-2 spreads and infects the body, and how vaccines expose our immune system to parts of the virus in order to trigger an antibody response.

Please note that facts may change over time as the outbreak is ongoing. Updates can be found at: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

This new video is a follow-up to our hugely successful Coronavirus Outbreak Animation, which received close to 2 million views and has been featured in various news programmes and documentaries around the world. The first video explores the mechanisms of how the virus spreads and infects, as well as the symptoms and preventative measures.
