First trials at the Oxford University raise hopes in the battle against the pandemic as results show that a coronavirus vaccine generated a “robust immune response” in the volunteers.
Key researchers leading the experiment shared their first findings for the COVID-19 vaccine, in a video released on Monday.
“Vaccines are absolutely the way out of the pandemic and this is really important moment because it shows that we can make a robust immune response which we hope will lead to protection in the future”, said the chief investigator of the study Professor Andrew Pollard.
“We are literally counting cases as the trial goes along and hoping that there will be fewer cases in the vaccines than in the control group,” said Professor Adrian Hill.
The promising trials involved 1,077 people. The UK reportedly already ordered 100 million doses of the vaccine.
