Artist Luke Jerram next to his glass sculpture of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, made to mark the ten millionth vaccination in the UK A Bristol artist still feeling the effects of Covid-19 has created a glass sculpture of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to mark 10 million vaccinations given in the UK. Luke Jerram created the artwork, which measures 34cm across and is one million times larger than the actual nanoparticle. The piece is created from borosilicate glass and made from the same materials and techniques used in medical scientific glassware for test tubes and distilleries. Five limited editions of the artwork are being made, with all profits from their sale going to the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres to help communities heavily affected by the pandemic.
