MEDICINE & HEALTHDr. Fauci recognizes the need for more education about vaccines with only 66% of America willing to get vaccinated and that a 70% - 75% protective vaccine against coronavirus would suffice.
A reverse genetics system was used to create and study a mutant version of the highly contagious rotavirus. The initial steps of viral assembly gave valuable insight on what may trigger virus multiplication.
Coronavirus has had genetic mutations which have made it less aggressive, according to an Italian doctor. However, scientists disagree with his optimistic claims.
Scientists have made a breakthrough discovery in the field of vaccine development. The new study claims that the researchers have identified and eliminated the cause of Vaccine-enhanced Disease in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Pharmacist-administered vaccinations were observed to be under-reporting immunization records. Health authorities express the effect that incomplete records may have when the coronavirus vaccine becomes available.
Chinese respiratory experts said that the CDC in China is already drafting guidelines to determine who would be eligible to receive the vaccine, when to take it, and what qualifies an emergency situation.
Ian Haydon was among the three volunteers given the highest dose of the candidate vaccine from Moderna Therapeutics. He had adverse reactions, while another was given a lower dose and developed a rash.
In developing vaccines, Thai scientists believe that it is not a money issue but its accessibility. Thai scientists are developing a coronavirus vaccine that is cost-effective and accessible to its neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
From Oregon Health and Science University, scientists tested nine adult rhesus macaques with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and evaluated re-exposure the following month. The study showed promising results in immunity.
According to the tests carried out at Rome's infectious-disease Spallanzani Hospital, an Italian coronavirus vaccine has antibodies generated in mice that work on human cells.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says the world may have a vaccine to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 by January. Research and scientific Industries are hard at work to making this a reality. Meanwhile, in Europe, there is already an antibody test ready for the general public.
The United Kingdom is testing its first vaccine for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on 510 Britons. Developed by Oxford University, the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine uses the common cold virus taken from chimps.
The United Kingdom is looking for 500 volunteers to test its first vaccine against the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Each participant will receive up to $772 for participating in one of Britain's most decisive moments.
The MMR vaccine could possibly lessen the effects of coronavirus, scientists from Cambridge University claim. Their study reveals that the coronavirus and the rubella virus have similarities in structure, which can attribute to some protection against COVID-19 if a person was previously vaccinated with MMR.

Time is running out as coronavirus cases and deaths just seem to be piling up. Scientists need to come up with a treatment or vaccine fast. A recent study claims that being pressed for time, an ‘incomplete’ immunity might be sufficient enough to battle the pandemic. They claim that any vaccine that is approved might not need to be 100 percent effective. Click the link above to learn more.
Experts found a 40% overlap between those who are skeptical about the safety of the vaccine and those people who believe that the CDC exaggerates the risks of COVID-19 after analyzing the two overlapping Pew Research Survey data sets.
