Free to visit, Injecting Hope: The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine takes a closer look at the UK-wide, behind-the-scenes work that accompanied the vaccines’ rapid development, production and delivery and examines the sheer logistical challenges behind the worldwide rollout.
The exhibition will reveal the inspiring stories of scientists and innovators collaborating around the globe to find solutions and save lives.
Visitors will be able to see more than 100 objects and stories that were collected during the peak of the pandemic. Highlights include the vial of the first COVID-19 vaccine to be administered worldwide and notebooks used by June Almeida, the Scottish scientist who discovered coronavirus in 1966.
Injecting Hope: The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine runs from 25 January to 27 April 2025 at the National Museum of Scotland.
