According to government officials, a clinical trial to evaluate the vaccine specially designed to protect against Cornovirus will begin on Monday.
The trial has not been publically announced yet and keeping the conditions of anonymity, the officials said that the first participant in the trial will receive the experimental vaccine on Monday at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. The trail is being funded by the National Institute of Health. adding to this the officials said that to completely validate the potential vaccine it may take up to 18 months.
A trial is all set, to begin with, a group of 45 young, healthy volunteers with different doses of shots co-developed by NIH and Moderna Inc. There are minimal chances that the volunteers will get infected by the shots inserted as the shots don’t contain any virus itself. The only agenda here is to check whether the vaccines show any further side effects or not.
