This egg could save your life | Wellcome

Why the simple egg is a key ingredient of many vaccines.

You can’t make a flu vaccine without a few eggs – up to 360,000 a day, in fact. Come inside pharmaceutical company GSK’s vaccine factory to discover why tens of millions of eggs are needed each year to stop the flu virus in its tracks.

Special thanks to GSK. A film made in collaboration with Barry J Gibb
