This year’s coronavirus pandemic begins and ends with fear. In less than 90 days, more than 100,000 people on nearly every continent have been infected with a virus that previously was unknown, and several thousand have died. Though few facts comfort us right now, we can take solace in the knowledge that the most effective way to control this and future pandemics exist: 21st-century vaccines.

Vaccines, as we know them today, are insufficient. To protect against challenging infections like the new coronavirus, we need a significant shift in research and innovation. The COVID-19 pandemic may finally provide the motivation to build on and accelerate advancements in vaccinology that help us overcome current limitations.
