COVID-19 vaccine from a tree

Farmers in Chile´s Casablanca area grow special trees. These trees are Quillay trees. Their bark can be important for a new COVID-19 vaccine. Indigenous people make soap and medicine from the tree. Scientists make some vaccines from it. The tree has some substances which make a body stronger against diseases. It seems that scientists will make a COVID-19 vaccine, too. It will be good for poorer countries. They do not have money for expensive vaccines.

Scientists use old trees. They will need more trees when they make the vaccine. They must find ways to grow many new trees quickly.

Difficult words: bark (the hard outer part of trees), indigenous (living in the same place for a very long time), substance (a material which is part of a thing).
