A volunteer received an injection in Brisbane today to vaccine a candidate for a new crown
Australian scientists today began Coronavirus vaccine human clinical trials, and strive to launch and put the campaign into practice this year.
The governor of Queensland, Parazzuk (Annastacia Palaszczuk), said in a statement that it was a milestone for the University of Queensland to develop new vaccine. Along with other heads of health, she watched and talked to the first volunteers who were vaccine candidates for injections.
At present, only a few of the more than 180 new crown vaccine developed worldwide have reached critical human clinical trial stages. Enter the human trial on Monday, keeping immunization scientists at the University of Queensland abreast of scientists in the U.S., Britain and China in their competition for a new crown vaccine.
Another advantage of the university of queensland's "molecular clamp" technology is that it can be recalibrated as a platform for developing actual vaccines against future pandemic virus.
volunteers will receive injections in brisbane today vaccine, confirm its safety and produce a basic level of immune response capacity.
But scientists at the university of queensland were shocked to find as many as 4000 people applying to volunteer for the first phase of the vaccine clinical trial.
Young, one of the lead researchers, said the test was conducted after extensive assessments of candidate vaccine in animal experiments in Australia and the Netherlands.
"Ever since the first selection of the leading candidate vaccine on February 14, the team has been conducting extensive preclinical testing, which has turned on the green light in the human trial phase ," said Professor Young. "
Preliminary tests have shown that the vaccine can be effectively neutralized in the laboratory and virus, safely used in humans. "
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19virus epidemic and its global spread, nearly 13 million people have been infected so far, resulting in more than 567,000 people death. Australia has 9562 confirmed cases and 108 death..
In Victoria, a shocking second wave of infections appears to be warning that unless vaccines are introduced, people ' s lives will not return to normal.
"We want vaccine to be here as soon as possible, but it may not be developed in the coming months ," said Nick Coatsworth, deputy head of the Federation. "
He stressed that keeping social distance, washing hands and wearing masks remained the only defense virus communication measures available.
The University of Queensland team has been confident in their research and development from the beginning. up to now, they have achieved the goal of screening candidate vaccine S-Spike from 250 possible variants and conducting human trials.
