New blog post up @ImmunoBites! Exploring the #SARSCoV2 vaccine development landscape: What progress has been made, and what do we still need to learn? #VaccinesWork #SciComm
Why don't we have a vaccine for the coronavirus yet? Today on ImmunoBites, @GirlTalkScience discusses the process of making a new vaccine, and examines the approaches and progress of a few promising candidates in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine pipeline:

New blog post up @ImmunoBites! What do we know about the immune response to #SARSCoV2? What immunotherapies are already being deployed for #COVID19 patients? I dove into the world of pre-prints and pre-pubs to find out.
