There are currently 8 clinical trials of Corona19 vaccines reported to the World Health Organization.

The most notable is the vaccine from the University of Oxford, Jenner Institute, which is undergoing clinical trials in 800 of the world's largest.

The UK government aims to start vaccinating the public in September again after conducting another 5,000 clinical trials after confirming safety for three months.

The problem is, it's difficult to even check the effectiveness in this short period.

[Anthony Pouch / Director, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, USA: At risk, we are developing a vaccine, but we do not know if the vaccine will work or how long it will last.]

Korea is scheduled to conduct a clinical trial on one type of vaccine starting next month. It is advantageous to start with several types of vaccines even in small initial clinical trials.

drugs Is being developed in a way that utilizes drugs that have been used for other purposes than new drugs.

The only officially recognized Ebola remedy is Remedyvir, but research around the world is in full swing, making it more likely to develop faster than the vaccine.

However, you must be vigilant in making judgments.

Even when looking at the drug that a domestic research team announced was 600 times more effective than an ebola treatment, it was not effective in other cell studies, and the results of cell experiments may be different in animal or clinical trials.
