Corona Virus vaccine: target of one million doses by September, say the scientists
scientists at the University of Oxford say, you should have at least A Million doses of the Corona-Virus vaccine by September of this year.
the British government, which said the monitoring of The Project , that there are "no guarantees" and it was not possible to put a date on a vaccine.
The First patients are expected to be week to participate in the Oxford tests next.
however, it is still too early to know whether it is either safe or effective.
appreciate Most of the experts still, it will develop from 12 to 18 Months to manufacture the vaccine.
What is a Corona-Virus vaccine?vaccines to train the immune system to help prevent people from developing a disease, such as Covid-19.
If enough people become immune, then the Corona to spread the Virus would not be able to be as effective and social distancing measures are no longer necessary.
Around 80 groups around The World , including large pharmaceutical companies trying to develop a vaccine, and some have already begun human trials.
This research takes place, unprecedented Speed - years of work condensed into months.
What made the Oxford?The Team at the University of Oxford had the preparation for an event like the Covid-19-pandemic, before the present Global Outbreak .
you have already had a genetically modified chimpanzee virus that as the basis for the new vaccine. They combined it with parts of the new coronavirus.
to fight The result is, hopefully, a safe virus that trains the immune system Covid-19.
The big question is whether the experimental vaccine actually works.
Prof Sarah Gilbert, The Lead researcher in the development of the vaccine, says she is 80% sure it will.
"This is my view, because I've been using this technique a lot, and I've been working on the Mers vaccine studies [a different kind of coronavirus], and I've seen what you can do.
"And I think it has a very strong chance to work. "
when will it be ready?The Team are already plans to mass produce the vaccine, even before you know if it will work.
"The goal is to have at least A Million doses of about September, as soon as you know, the vaccine efficacy results, And Then move even faster," said Prof Adrian Hill, who runs the Jenner Institute in Oxford,
"It's pretty clear to The World , hundreds of millions of doses by The End of this year, after The End of the pandemic, which lead us out of lockdown.
He described A Million doses as a "relatively modest goal" and the vaccines as an "Exit Strategy " for coronavirus.
when will we know the results?The researchers hope to know whether their vaccine is effective in The Next few months.
Nevertheless, the success of the lockdown, a stumbling block could prove, As If The Number of coronavirus cases to fall, then it will take longer to know whether the vaccine is effective.
There are discussions about whether it is safe would be to infect people intentionally, to get you a quicker answer.
What is the government doing?The government has a coronavirus-task force to support the Rapid Development and production of a vaccine.
Business Secretary Alok Sharma , said a vaccine was a "huge company" and there are "no guarantees".
"But the government is behind our scientists, bets large to maximize the chance of success," He Said .
It is the financing of projects 21 new research and work to scale-up the production, so that a vaccine could be produced in large quantities.
the Chief scientific adviser to Sir Patrick Vallance , who heads the taskforce, said it was important to remember that the success of the vaccination can come from anywhere.
Sir Patrick said: "Only a little realism in vaccine development, each individual project does not have a high probability of success.
"So, although everyone goes on with great enthusiasm and we hope that you will work, it is never the case that you know you have to go for a vaccine to work. "
It is The View of the scientist remains the government of the United Kingdom and the globe health organization, 12-18 Months is a realistic time frame for a vaccine.
