Links to an external site.

The
above link has four-part animation series that explores the biology of
the virus, including the structure of coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2, how
they infect humans and replicate inside cells, how the viruses evolve,
methods used to detect active and past SARS-CoV-2 infections, and how
different types of vaccinations for SARS-CoV-2 prevent disease.

After watching all parts of the animation,

3. Discuss the different ways to detect viral infection
4. Discuss the how different types of vaccines trigger an immune response
