Queensland researchers are hopeful a vaccine they are developing could provide coverage for all the strains of COVID-19.
Scientists from the Institute for Glycomics at Griffith University, along with colleagues from Canada and China, have been working to develop a vaccine that targets specific parts of the viruss spike protein.
