Injecting Hope: The race for a COVID-19 vaccine

Injecting Hope is a new, free exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland that presents the science behind the COVID-19 vaccine.

This exhibition details the rapid research, development and delivery of the vaccine. Learn the science behind the creation of the vaccine, and understand the logistics behind its global roll-out.

Visitors will see historic objects and modern innovations in the National Museums Scotland collection, and discover how these helped the global COVID-19 response.

Highlighted objects include a syringe belonging to Alexander Wood, a Scotsman who invented the world's first hypodermic syringe.

Injecting Hope will also share uniquely Scottish experiences of the global pandemic.

Learn about the people involved in the creation of Scotland's blue vaccine appointment envelopes, developed to stand out and be prioritised by post offices and receivers, and hear voices from the African diaspora in Glasgow on vaccine hesitancy in the community.

Injecting Hope: The race for a COVID-19 Vaccine is part of an international tour presented by the Science Museum Group.
