Developing The Vaccine

Currently, there is no vaccine for the coronavirus right now. However, scientists have begun working on one. But developing a vaccine that is both safe and effective will take many months which is quite a long period of time.

Researchers in the Precision Vaccines(PVP) at Boston Children’s Hospital are on the frontlines developing a vaccine for older people, since they are the ones who are at the greatest risk of developing the disease

DIOSynVax, a small company started by a Canadian pathologist named Jonathan Heeney, they are also trying to find the vaccine for the coronavirus. But this may be very difficult because Heeney couldn’t take the risk. He didn’t want anyone carrying Covid-19 into his lab and infecting his staff. “It’s a challenge already, because when they go home to their families every day, you don’t know who they’re passing on the bus or the train,” he said.

Scientists are trying hard to make the vaccine for coronavirus. They have to face many problems since the coronavirus is highly infectious and they need to be extra careful.
