When will we get a coronavirus vaccine? | WIRED Explains

We need a coronavirus vaccine to beat the pandemic, but that's a problem. Why? Because making a Covid-19 vaccine that works (and is safe) will take a long time. Even the most hopeful estimates suggest it could take a year, but some believe we may have to wait until the end of 2021 to have a working cure, and that's before we tackle the problem of immunising the whole world. In this video we explore the challenges facing those looking to create a coronavirus vaccine, how human trials work and explain why developing a cure for coronavirus will take such a long time. This video was produced as part of Digital Society, a publishing partnership between WIRED and Vontobel where all content is editorially independent.
