Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The scientific community has reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedented speed and cooperation. Key insights for saving lives are coming out of rapid genome sequencing, open data sharing and transparent scientific communications.
Grounded in experience with global health threats ranging from AIDS to Zika, our researchers are an important part of the international scientific response to the pandemic — tracking and modeling the virus' spread, detailing the immune response to the virus, conducting trials of vaccines and treatments, and working to prevent future outbreaks.
Everything You Need to Know About COVID-19 Vaccines
Fred Hutch and the COVID-19 Prevention Network created PreventCovidWA.org to help everyone in Washington understand the COVID-19 vaccines, and how they can help get people back to work and school as soon — and as safely — as possible. PreventCovidWA has videos and other content to help people find answers to their questions so they can make an informed decision about getting vaccinated.
In the Media
All Covid-19 Media CoverageFrom the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fred Hutch scientists have been sharing their expertise through interviews and conversations with reporters and media outlets including the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Seattle Times, NPR and many others. We include some of the most significant coverage in our COVID-19 timeline.
The Impact of Your Support
Fueled by your support, research to understand and contain the coronavirus is happening at a scale and moving at a speed that was unimaginable just a few months ago.
