As scientists all over the world race to find a vaccine for COVID-19, we talk to Dr. Howard Markel about the history of vaccine development.

Today on Stateside, we revisit some of our favorite conversations from this year. We discuss why many experts say we should think about racism as a public health crisis. Plus, what the history of vaccine development can tell us about the timeline for a COVID-19 vaccine.
