TORONTO --
In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers in Saskatoon are suiting up for another fight.
Theyâre part of a worldwide effort to create what could be a holy grail: a universal vaccine that might be able to work against all future coronavirus-related viruses.
Itâs like fire insurance, Volker Gerdts, director and CEO of the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan, told CTV News.
âHopefully you will never use it. Hopefully you wasted that money,â Gerdts said. âBut when you have a fire, when a new disease breaks out, you're ready, and that's the concept for this.â
