There are more viruses in the world than there are stars in the observable universe!! We normally talk about astronomy here. But the world is currently facing an enormous challenge that can (and will) be solved through science and hard-work. What are viruses and can this understanding help scientists create vaccines against Covid-19 or Coronavirus? How do vaccines work and what are the different types of vaccines being created?
