This week’s expert:
Prof Nigel Crawford, Paediatrician and Head of Immunisation Services, Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne

Drawn from Dr David Lim’s interview with Prof Nigel Crawford on the Healthed Podcast, ‘Going Viral’.

• Currently there are many centres around the world working on developing a vaccine for COVID-19. Many of these are cooperative alliances made up of academics, biotech or pharma companies and, in some cases, government organisations. It is believed that these conglomerates – with all elements working in parallel – will expedite the large-scale manufacture and delivery of a vaccine as soon as it is proven effective and safe.
