The vaccine is still in early-stage clinical trials, and it is yet to be seen whether it can protect people against the virus.
A vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca and the U.K.’s Oxford University appears to be safe, early-stage clinical trials have shown, marking a promising breakthrough in the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine, although it is yet to be seen whether it protects people against the virus.Trials of the vaccine involving some 1,077 healthy adult volunteers between April and May, showed the injection triggered the creation of antibodies and white blood cells to fight coronavirus.
However, the vaccine, called AZD1222, requires larger trials to test whether it can offer protection against coronavirus. Britain has already secured a supply of 100 million doses of the vaccine, which is being developed at an unprecedented speed.The vaccine is made from a genetically engineered virus and has been modified, meaning it looks like coronavirus, but cannot trigger the infection in people. Instead, it trains the immune system to attack the virus.
He added: “However, we need more research before we can confirm the vaccine effectively protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection, and for how long any protection lasts.”Researchers working on the vaccine say they expect to begin rolling out the vaccine from October this year, months ahead of experts’ estimates that it would take until at least 2021 to find an effective injection.
