Covid-19 Vaccine is Ready. Oxford University begins human trials, but vaccine may not be available till next year. (To News Today)
It's hoped that the production of the Oxford trial vaccine should start in September but before people could rejoice, Chief Medical Officer of England, Chris Whitty warned that we might not be able to reap its benefits this year.
The University of Oxford in the United Kingdom on Thursday started the human trial of the novel corona-virus vaccine it has developed.
In its first phase, the trial will be carried out on healthy adults between the age of 18 to 55. Once the safety is ascertained, it will be extended to elder people including that of Black and Asian minority ethnic (BAME) groups, including Indians.
