Making a COVID Vaccine

SIAM member Jeffrey R. Sachs, who leads vaccine modeling and simulation efforts at Merck, explains how mathematics plays a critical role in our daily lives, specifically focusing on how math is used in the development, discovery, and manufacturing of vaccines.

The objective

The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics wanted to tell a story of how math was used in many of the critical developments of society. The COVID19 pandemic was yet another example, where math was so important to developing a vaccine to bring the world back to normal.

The solution

We worked with acclaimed scientist Jeff Sachs to build a narrative about his work developing the vaccine for Merck. A rigorous approval process for this information was necessary because of the rampant misinformation about COVID and the vaccines. Together, we built a story that was accurate, clear and concise, but also told a story.
