About this audiobook
The COVID-19 pandemic thrust mRNA vaccines into global consciousness almost overnight. Billions of doses have been administered, yet most people have only a hazy understanding of how they actually work. This volume explains the science clearly—what mRNA is, how these vaccines function differently from traditional approaches, why they could be developed so quickly, and what they might mean for medicine beyond COVID.
