Findings lay groundwork for clinical development program. The development of a safe and effective vaccine will likely be required to end the COVID-19 pandemic. A…
Findings confirm the robustness of the vaccine approval system and postmarketing surveillance. A comprehensive review of vaccine data over a 20-year period finds that vaccines…
A Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate if an investigational vaccine can prevent symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults has begun. The vaccine,…
With the global pandemic still in full swing, scientists are working to develop a vaccine in record time. While everyone wants an effective vaccine, they…
