In the UK, a group of Oxford University began clinical trials of a vaccine from coronavirus on volunteers. More than a thousand people from different cities of the country will take part in them. Two of them have already made injections.

In one of the syringes there was a vaccine from coronavirus, in the other - a vaccine for meningitis. The main goal of scientists is to collect information about the safety of the drug and ensure immunity from the Covid-19.

The vaccine is based on the chimpanzees virus with the addition of a new genetic code of the new type of coronavirus. Researchers believe that test results will be known within six months.

The search for a vaccine from Covid-19 is engaged in dozens of laboratories around the world. The other day, Germany announced the start of testing on volunteers.

According to the World Health Organization, 70 vaccines are now being developed in the world. The first tests of drugs in humans were stated by the United States and China. In Russia, clinical trials are planned to begin on June 1.

According to experts, for the mass use of the vaccine from coronavirus it will be ready no earlier than the beginning of 2021.

The distribution of coronavirus of a new type began in December last year in China. According to official statistics, the number of Covid-19 sick in the world is approaching three million. More than 190 thousand patients died since the beginning of the pandemic.
