In this video, we explore how COVID-19 vaccines work; first by understanding how SARS-Coronavirus-2 spreads and infects the body, and how vaccines expose our immune system to parts of the virus in order to trigger an antibody response.
Please note that facts may change over time as the outbreak is ongoing. Updates can be found at: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

The creation of this video was made possible due to Random42 receiving an Epic MegaGrant towards the end of 2020. This was used to enhance our medical animation and interactive capabilities utilising Epic Games’ Unreal Engine; the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool.
With this rare opportunity, our team could develop a new real-time approach to our animations that has expanded the possibilities of what we can achieve creatively. The MegaGrant was used to create this educational animation on COVID-19 infection and vaccine development. The animation is a follow-up to our hugely successful Coronavirus Outbreak Animation, which received close to 2 million views and has been featured in various news programmes and documentaries around the world – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elWIPbDfLA0.
