Roll On The Roll Out
Britain aims to have 15 million people vaccinated by mid- February. To do that, we'll need more vaccine but, making vaccines is a complicated business. Tim Harford explains why.
The vaccines are finally here, and countries around the world are running a race against time to get them into our arms as fast as possible. At the moment, Israel is leading the way, and the UK is currently forth in the world for vaccine doses administered. But, if the aim in Britain is to get 15 million people their first jab by mid February, we鈥檙e going to have to get more vaccines quickly. And that鈥檚 no mean feat because making vaccines is a complicated business, and delivering them isn鈥檛 easy either, even when you have the storks of Yeovil on your side. Tim Harford explains why on this edition of How To Vaccinate The World.
