The Dhaka Times Desk England's Oxford University is at the forefront of the race to develop a vaccine for the deadly corona virus. The cost of 1 cup of coffee will be equal to the cost of this vaccine in Oxford!
England's Oxford University said that if everything goes well, their vaccine will be available for the seriously ill next October. According to the Economist report, the cost of making each dose of this vaccine is roughly the same as the price of a cup of coffee.
Despite the vigorous efforts of various countries in the world to develop a vaccine for the deadly corona virus, which has turned into an epidemic, no effective vaccine has been developed so far. 15 of the more than two hundred vaccines developed in the world are undergoing clinical trials. An experimental project by Oxford University and drug maker AstraZeneca has reached the final stage as the first vaccine. The World Health Organization also says that they are at the forefront of vaccine development.
Oxford's corona vaccine is now undergoing the third phase of experimental application. Its results or effectiveness will be known by the end of August. Regulators may also approve the vaccine for emergency use only if trials show evidence of success. In that case, high-risk patients will receive these vaccines by October.
In this regard, the chairman of the UK vaccine task force, Kate Binham, said that Oxford is far ahead in the field of vaccine development. Oxford's vaccine may be in use long before other vaccines begin testing their effectiveness.
British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is also building a supply chain to quickly deliver Oxford's vaccine internationally.
In this regard, the officials of the company said that they have already received an order for the production of 200 million doses of vaccine. Each dose of the vaccine costs just about the price of a cup of coffee.
