nursing home in this southwestern cathedral city, where thousands of

coffin passed by, draped in the red, white and blue Union flag.

These months are needed because the process of producing a new vaccine involves many sequential steps, and each of these steps requires a certain amount of time to complete. The vaccine development process from start (obtaining a virus sample) to end (availability of vaccine for use) is summarized below.
