Vaxxers by Sarah Gilbert
The Inside Story of the Oxford AstraZeneca Vaccine and the Race Against the Virus
An insider's account of the rushed scientific, logistical and ethical effort to develop a safe, affordable COVID-19 vaccine, describing how a university lab repurposed an adenovirus platform, moved from lab to human trials in weeks, negotiated manufacturing and regulatory hurdles through a partnership with industry, and wrestled with communication, distribution and public-trust challenges as the global pandemic unfolded. It blends clear explanations of the science with personal and team reflections on decision-making under uncertainty, the race against time, and the drive to ensure equitable access worldwide.
