Work inside the UNICEF warehouse in Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2020, laying the groundwork for COVAX.
It s called COVAX and it may be the best hope in vaccinating the world.
The relative obscurity of this vaccine program belies its critical role in the global battle against Covid-19. Indeed, COVAX may well be the most important acronym of 2021.
