Patents and Covid-19 vaccines: the recipe isn’t everything you need

Since last winter, vaccines have become the backbone of most developed countries fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. After a record-breaking fast development by a handful of companies and its approval by regulators, the administration of vaccines has paced up rapidly and by the second half of this year, most of Europeans and North-Americans are expected to be vaccinated.
