The World Health Organization says there is a race to produce a very fast vaccine against the emerging coronavirus, which first appeared in China late last year and soon swept across countries.

To date, more than 100 scientific projects have been announced to produce a vaccine in a short time.

Some of these projects are promising and anticipated by Al-Wasat Medical Company, and the following are the most prominent vaccines that occupy the forefront:

University of Oxford and AstraZeneca vaccine

It is considered one of the most promising vaccines in the world, developed by Oxford University and produced in partnership with the British "AstraZeneca", and it has shown a "strong immune response" to more than a thousand patients.

The Chinese "Cansino Biologics" vaccine,
being developed with the support of the Chinese "Cansino Biologics", has achieved a good result in antibody production in 500 patients in a separate trial.

The German American Pontiac-Pfizer and French Valeneva vaccine
Earlier, the British government announced an agreement to produce 90 million doses of other vaccines under development, from the manufacture of the German American Pontiac-Pfizer coalition and French Valeneva laboratories.

These two vaccines are at the forefront of potential vaccines. Under the agreement, the parties concerned will produce 30 million doses for the German-American coalition and 60 million doses for the French group.

Our American Moderina vaccine
, in turn, announced that the clinical trials of its vaccine had entered the final stages, thus becoming the first company to reach this advanced stage. This announcement puts our managers at the forefront of the global race for a vaccine.

The Russian Ministry of Defense vaccine,
