'The safety signals from these two important trials are reassuring,' said two experts.
Both vaccines rely on harmless viruses engineered to contain parts of spike proteins from SARS-CoV-2 to trigger an immune response after injection, a new approach to vaccination developed against Ebola in the last decade. The Oxford University vaccine is being developed with AstraZeneca, part of the Operation Warp Speed candidates, supported by more than $1 billion from the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.
Tolerable fatigue, headache, and arm tenderness were the only side effects reported by the volunteers, similar to other vaccines, according to the studies. Right now, three candidate coronavirus vaccines are in the final Phase III stage of testing on tens of thousands of volunteers needed before government approval for widespread use, according to. Those three are the University of Oxford candidate, one from China's Sinovac, and one from Moderna in the US.
The first two have started recruiting volunteers for those trials and the last is expected to start before
