We have Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines for COVID-19. But clearly we need more, which is why researchers at the Quebec biotechnology company Medicago have been working on another first: a plant-based COVID-19 vaccine.

Medicago teamed with pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to develop the plant-based jab. The vaccine uses a relative of the tobacco plant, Nicotiana benthamiana. This species is used widely in pharmaceutical development because a high number of viruses can successfully infect the plant. In other words, the plant is very susceptible to infections.
