Description:	NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series In a few short months, SARS-CoV-2 has swept through the world infecting more than 7 million people and causing more than 400,000 deaths. However, the pandemic experience and response in different countries around the world has varied. The peak of the outbreak has passed in Australia, with more than 7,000 cases and more than 100 deaths, but there is a real possibility of a second wave of infection. The viruses that caused the SARS outbreak of 2002/2003 and the current COVID-19 pandemic are related betacoronaviruses. Experience with SARS-1 provides some insights into the COVID-19 pandemic. In this seminar, Dr. Subbarao will discuss the Australian COVID-19 experience and response and will look back on SARS-1 vaccine development for important lessons that can inform SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design, testing, and implementation.

However, the pandemic experience and response in different countries around the world has varied. The peak of the outbreak has passed in Australia, with more than 7,000 cases and more than 100 deaths, but there is a real possibility of a second wave of infection. The viruses that caused the SARS outbreak of 2002/2003 and the current COVID-19 pandemic are related betacoronaviruses. Experience with SARS-1 provides some insights into the COVID-19 pandemic. In this seminar, Dr. Subbarao will discuss the Australian COVID-19 experience and response and will look back on SARS-1 vaccine development for important lessons that can inform SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design, testing, and implementation.
