AZ疫苗研發團隊
與死神賽跑、致力開發救命疫苗的抗疫故事

AZ疫苗是全球最多人接種的疫苗。二〇二〇年一月一日，牛津大學疫苗學教授吉伯特讀到一篇在中國有四人罹患奇怪肺炎的文章。她和團隊在兩周內設計疫苗對抗前所未見的病原體。不到一年，全球展開疫苗接種在新冠肺炎疫情中拯救數百萬人命。

透過本書，吉伯特與其同事格林博士邀請讀者走進實驗室，直擊ＡＺ疫苗背後的研發經過、尖端科學與辛勤付出。


*BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK*

'An enthralling tale of toil, tenacity and triumph' RACHEL CLARKE

This is the story of a race – not against other vaccines or other scientists, but against a deadly and devastating virus.

On 1 January 2020, Sarah Gilbert, Professor of Vaccinology at Oxford University, read an article about four people in China with a strange pneumonia. Within two weeks, she and her team had designed a vaccine against a pathogen that no one had ever seen before. Less than 12 months later, vaccination was rolled out across the world to save millions of lives from Covid-19.

In Vaxxers, we hear directly from Professor Gilbert and her colleague Dr Catherine Green as they reveal the inside story of making the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and the cutting-edge science and sheer hard work behind it.

This is their story of fighting a pandemic as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Sarah and Cath share the heart-stopping moments in the eye of the storm; they separate fact from fiction; they explain how they made a highly effective vaccine in record time with the eyes of the world watching; and they give us hope for the future.

Vaxxers invites us into the lab to find out how science will save us from this pandemic, and how we can prepare for the inevitable next one.
