Once vaccinated, our immune system should destroy the coronavirus if we are exposed to it.
According to the WHO, there are currently more than 60 teams of scientists working on a vaccine. Under normal circumstances, it would take more than ten years. But thanks to previous research efforts there's a chance this process may be fast-tracked, with human trials already underway in some cases.
