The key to developing a successful coronavirus vaccine likely lies in those who have already survived the virus.

Dr. Pippin explains how bypassing usually mandatory animal testing may lead to a viable vaccine becoming available years sooner than it otherwise would be. Moving directly to human trials would also save countless animal lives and save developers millions of dollars in expenses. Potentially those savings would lead to lower costs for the medication.

With such promise, could the future of all drug testing become animal free? That is what Chuck and Dr. Pippin will explore.
