Key concepts include 1. Mechanisms of immune recognition for SARS CoV 2 2. Vaccines vs therapeutics 3. Vaccine types and sources - nucleic acid, viral vector and attenuated/inactive vaccines 4. Vaccine development pipeline 5. Exploratory research and vaccine design for SARS-CoV-2 - spike protein target 6. Vaccine production 7. Testing and clinical trials 8. Challenge trials 9. Regulatory review and approval
