We often fear that which we do not understand.
One of our missions is to help people understand COVID-19: what it is, what we are doing about it, and that there is hope in our technology to stop this pandemic. If science is not your forté, refer to the links below to unscramble the scientific jargon as we make sense of the science behind COVID-19.
Vaccines - Where Are They Now?

In this week’s post we will be taking a look at two of the leading vaccine candidates in terms of how they work, their clinical trial progress, and when they are planning to be distributed.
Vaccines: Frequently Asked Questions
There are many questions surrounding the development and use of vaccines, who should get them, and if they can truly provide long-lasting immunity against diseases. In this post, we will try and address some of the most common questions behind vaccines and hopefully debunk some myths you may be buying into.
