As the pace to develop a safe vaccine against coronavirus accelerates, USA TODAY is rounding up some of the week's most notable vaccine developments. That includes one Chinese vaccine that shows early promise.
An all-out global race to develop a safe vaccine against coronavirus is underway. The stakes couldn't be higher: an effective vaccine or treatment against the virus that causes COVID-19 is necessary to fully restart economies and resume civic life.
If protective immunity was possible, a vaccine was also likely possible. Until this week that hadn’t been established, even in animals.ScienceNot all viruses generate natural protective immunity, so scientists had worried people could potentially be infected over and over again. The monkey data makes that seem less likely.
The candidate vaccine is scheduled to be tested in Canada soon. The Canadian Center for Vaccinology is working with CanSino and Canada’s National Research Council to coordinate the trial. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement during a press briefing.$1.
Last week Oxford reported that a single dose of the vaccine caused six rhesus macaque monkeys to develop antibodies to coronavirus within 28 days but did not protect them from becoming infected with COVID-19. After two doses of the candidate vaccine, participants' antibody levels were about the same as in people who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection.
