Oxford U may have COVID vaccine by September | Philstar.com

By Thomas A. Smith

A report in The Times of Israel said the scientists are expected to commence human trials next week for a coronavirus vaccine. A total of 510 people between the ages of 18 and 55 have been recruited to take part in the trial, The Times said, quoting British tabloid The Daily Mail.

The subjects will receive either the vaccine developed at the university or a control injection for comparison.

We are going into human trials next week. We have tested the vaccine in several different animal species, says professor Adrian Hill. We have taken a fairly cautious approach, but a rapid one to assess the vaccine that we are developing.
