Timely development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2
Shan Lu
Abstract
The rapidly emerging SARS-2-CoV (SARS-2) has been spreading through China and entering many parts of the world with easy human-to-human transmission and thousands of deaths. Development of a vaccine, and a vaccine which can be quickly deployed on a global scale, is no longer merely a discussion or part of a debate whether such a vaccine is ultimately needed.
