- Where do scientists start from when making a vaccine?
- How are safety and efficiency tested before clinical studies on people?
- How is the process authorised and who is responsible for this?
- Are there special ethics approvals before testing vaccines intended for children?
- How are people recruited for clinical trials?
- Are approved vaccines reviewed periodically, once they are on the market?
- How were COVID-19 vaccines developed so fast?
- How long does it take to develop immunity after a vaccine?
