The growing influence of the coronavirus has created an atmosphere of terror in the minds of people around the world. No vaccine or drug has yet been developed to protect against the corona virus, and efforts by scientists in all countries are underway.
Pfizer, a US pharmaceutical company, has taken a step forward in finding a vaccine against the deadly corona virus. A clinical trial of the vaccine, developed by Pfizer, will be conducted on thousands of people in September.
Albert Borla, CEO and chairman of Pfizer, claims that millions of samples of the vaccine will be produced in October if it is to have a positive effect on the vaccine, as expected.
The vaccine developed by the company is named BNT162. The first dose of the vaccine was tested on humans on March 5 in Germany.
Pfizer is currently working to develop four different vaccines. Researchers at the company say the vaccine will prove to be the most effective and efficient in June or July. For this, researchers are collecting and analyzing information.
Efforts are being made by many companies around the world to develop vaccines. According to the WHO, a trial is underway on 120 vaccines worldwide. U.S. health officials have made the prediction. That is, it can take up to a year and a half to develop a vaccine.
