Corona Virus Vaccine Update

The vaccine for coronavirus, being developed by Oxford University, in association with AstraZeneca is expected to be out in the market by early next year.


Oxford just started the phase 3 human trials, and it is expected to take a few more months for the final results to be out. So far, the results of phase 1 and 2 have been very promising, and the vaccine worked in monkeys too.

Johnson and Johnson too is working on a vaccine, which has shown impressive results in monkeys. Johnson and Johnson is now conducting its phase 1 and 2 human trials.

The Serum Institute of India has been working closely with Oxford University, and is said to be starting human trials of the vaccine in India, very soon.
