Editorial: UPMC says covid-19 vaccine will take longer. That’s normal.
We need a vaccine for covid-19. But we need a vaccine that will work. Maybe it would be something that would be done annually like the flu shot, tweaked every year to address new strains. Maybe it would be like a tetanus shot that would work for a certain number...
