Did Russia really find the coronavirus vaccine? Here's everything you need to know about it
Moscow : A few months ago there was an outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan, China which went on the spread across the world to other nations. This new strain of COVID-19 is a highly contagious and deadly virus which can eventually take a toll on our lungs and respiratory system. Now the fact remains that there is no cure or vaccine for this virus which makes everything even worse. Researchers and scientists have managed to create numerous antiviral medicine but is not enough and this is why we need a vaccine because we do see any other way out of this global pandemic.
The best minds across the world are working hard to find a vaccine. According to the World Health Organization, there are 23 vaccine candidates from across the globe that are under clinical evaluation and there are 137 vaccine candidates who are undergoing the preclinical examination. Out of so many vaccine contenders one has already finished their clinical trials and is created by the Gamalei Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology.
After going through a number of tests and constant observation, the researchers concluded that this vaccine is healthy for humans to use. This vaccine is just as safe as any other vaccine that we turn to. the director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Biotechnology, told Sputnik, adding that the first group of volunteers would be discharged on Wednesday and the second on July 20. This vaccine did well in the human trials but nobody really knows when will it reach the commercial production stage but irrespective, if this vaccine works it will be the saviour of humankind. It is also important to understand that there is more to learn about this vaccine and its impact on the human body before actually using it to treat COVID-19 -patients at just face value. This vaccine has just completed the phase I trial and we still have more phases of clinical trials before a final decision can be taken. While most of us would think that we are close to a vaccine, we actually might not be.
