Russia’s State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology VECTOR revealed, on Friday, the expected date for registering the second Russian Coronavirus vaccine.
The head of the center Rinat Maxotov said that the vaccine clinical trials center were in its early stages last month, indicating that he expected the vaccine to be registered on October 15, according to the "RIA Novosti " agency.
“Separate clinical studies will be conducted on the vaccine and will include 150 volunteers over the age of 60 years," Maxotov added.
Last month, the China Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that Coronavirus vaccines that are being developed in China may be ready for use by the general public as early as November.
“Phase 3 clinical trials were proceeding smoothly and the vaccines could be ready for the general public in November or December,” CDC chief Guizhen Wu said in an interview with state TV.
China has four Coronavirus vaccines in the final stage of clinical trials. Yet, Wu did not specify which vaccines she was referring to.
It is worth mentioning that, Global vaccine makers are racing to develop an effective vaccine against the virus which has killed more than 925,000 people.
