According to the Associated Press, scientists at the Kaiser Permanente research institute, Seattle, USA on March 16 injected the first experimental Covid-19 vaccine into humans, officially leading the race to find a method to prevent COVID-19.
“We are now the group named coronavirus.
According to AP, the first volunteer to participate in the vaccine trial was Ms. Jennifer Haller, 43 years old, living in Seattle.
In total, in phase 1, there will be 45 volunteers participating in the trial, each receiving 2 doses, each dose 1 month apart.
“We all felt like we couldn’t help.
After being injected, Ms. Haller walked out of the testing room and smiled: `I feel great.`
The March 16 event marked the beginning of a series of human studies and trials needed to prove the developed vaccine is safe and effective.
However, the research process cannot proceed quickly despite favorable initial test results, because according to NIH expert Anthony Fauci, it will take at least 12-18 months to bring a vaccine to market.
Unprecedented speed
However, the above expert emphasized that finding a vaccine is an `urgent public health priority` at the moment and that March 16’s research was conducted in human trials at `record speed.`
According to AP, the vaccine tested yesterday was called mRNA-1273, co-developed by biotechnology company Moderna (Massachusetts) and the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).
However, this is not the only experimental vaccine.
According to expert Jackson, starting research on the new corona virus from scratch, and after only 2 months having a vaccine tested on humans is an `unprecedented` milestone.
Some people selected to participate in the trial, aged 18-55 years old, in good health, will be injected with higher doses than some other volunteers to examine the impact of the product.
The principle of mRNA is to attack a protein on the new corona virus.
However, because this is an experimental product introduced into the human body, it requires careful and thorough research to prevent side effects.
