We are all living in a world transformed by #covid19 and it is not fun.

My kids are daily praying that the world will find a vaccine soon to help us go back to “normal” or at least improve our current situation. But, what soon means in the world of creating a new vaccine?

Most people are not familiar about the process to produce a new vaccine.

The fastest a vaccine has ever been made is 5 years.

Oh!!! Can we wait 5 years like this?? Probably not.

Bill Gates is positive about the goal for a COVID-19 vaccine under 18 months.

The chart below explain how soon will a vaccine be ready for Covid-19.
