A COVID-19 vaccine may be the saviour we’re all looking for, but will it give us long-term immunity? And if you do happen to get coronavirus, even in a mild form, are there any long-term issues? Virology expert Assoc. Professor Michael Beard says the impacts of this virus are here to stay.

The Hospital Research Foundation and Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation are proud to be supporting a group of SA scientists and clinicians (inc Assoc Prof Beard) to investigate how COVID-19 immunity works and use these insight to inform a vaccine.
