The Dhaka Times Desk The application of the corona virus vaccine developed by the experts of Oxford University, the world's best educational and research institution, is now at the final stage.
It has been reported that the results of the clinical trial will be available by next August or September. If everything goes well, it will be possible to market this vaccine by next October. This information is highlighted in a report by the Reuters news agency citing Oxford scientists.
According to media reports, the British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is working to market this much-discussed vaccine invented by Oxford scientists. 4 European countries have already signed an initial agreement with the company to pre-order 40 million doses of Corona vaccine.
Scientists say that this trial has been undertaken in phases to verify how well this vaccine can protect people from the Covid-19 corona virus. Scientists are now optimistic about the successful application of this vaccine.
The vaccine will be administered to 10,260 children and adults in the UK in the next phase. Apart from this, the trial of this vaccine will also be completed in South Africa and Brazil.
Professor Andrew Pollard, head of the Oxford Vaccine Group, spoke about this vaccine in a recent statement. He said, clinical studies are going very well. We are now primarily evaluating how well the vaccine can induce immunity in adults. It is also being tested to see if it can protect the wider population.
It is hoped that by the end of 2020, it will be possible to complete the development work of the vaccine or the preparation for the market.
It should be noted that the corona virus was first detected in Wuhan, China in December last year. Then this corona virus spread in 213 countries and regions of the world. So far, the number of corona infected in the world is 95 lakh 20 thousand 199 people. And 4 lakh 83 thousand 959 people died. On the other hand, 51 lakh 69 thousand 270 people have recovered.
