How the AstraZeneca vaccine was made

Ros Russell, the Editor of the Evening Standard’s Vaccine for the World project, takes over the Tech and Science Daily this week, to bring you the people behind the scenes tackling Covid-19.

Today we’re joined by Professor Teresa Lambe OBE, co creator of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.  

The team at the University of Oxford lept into action to develop a vaccine in January 2020, before the virus reached the UK in March.  

Professor Lambe tells us about her journey through creating the vaccine ‘on a Friday night’, the struggles her team faced and how she felt once she knew that they had successfully created the UK’s first coronavirus vaccine.
