BIZTALK: What's The Deal With A Vaccine?

By Staff Reports, posted Apr 21, 2020
Researchers and scientists are working on bringing a vaccine for the novel coronavirus to the finish line, but it's a process that takes time.

Jennifer McCall, assistant professor in clinical research at the University of North Carolina Wilmington who has a PhD in immunology, discussed vaccines during Tuesday's BizTalk.

"We have to make sure that the vaccines that we have and that people have developed are going to work that they're very effective and that they're safe," McCall said during the BizTalk, "and that's the process that takes a really long time."
