Trials have come up positive for the UK University of Oxford. The editor-in-chief of The Lancet, a UK-based medical journal, says it is safe, well-tolerated, and immune. A coronavirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford appears safe and trains the immune system.
Tests involving 1,077 people showed that the injections gave them antibodies and white blood cells that could fight the coronavirus. The findings regarding vaccines are very promising, but it is still possible to know soon whether this is sufficient to provide protection and larger trials are underway. The UK had previously tied up with AstraZeneca to acquire 100 million doses of the vaccine being tested by the University of Oxford. The government has also provided crores of rupees to Oxford University as well as Imperial College London to help in the discovery of this drug. Their vaccine started testing on humans only in June. Results have been found effective in the first phase.
