LONDON (CBSMiami) – COVID-19 continues its stronghold in the state of Florida but there could be some good news on a potential vaccine. New preliminary research is encouraging on two coronavirus vaccines being developed outside the United States.
Researchers are having promising results with an experimental vaccine being developed by the University of Oxford and the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.
The study in The Lancet looked at more than 1,000 healthy adults and found the vaccine induced strong antibody and immune responses.
“What this vaccine does particularly well is trigger both arms of the immune system, so in addition to neutralizing antibodies, which other vaccines do, we also see a very strong t-cell response,” explained Professor Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute at Oxford University.
