- Summary:
- The race to deliver a Covid-19 vaccine has been likened to a moonshot, but in several ways landing a man on the moon was easier. In A Shot in the Arm: How Science, Engineering, and Supply Chains Converged to Vaccinate the World, MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi recounts the vaccine's world-changing journey from scientific breakthrough, to coronavirus antidote, to mass vaccination. The book also explores how the mission could transform the way the world combats other global-scale challenges.
