Hong Kong researchers develop vaccine for coronavirus
January 29, 2020 20:50
Hong Kong researchers have already developed a vaccine for the deadly Wuhan coronavirus, but need time to test it, according to infectious diseases expert Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, reports South China Morning Post.
“We have already produced the vaccine, but it will take a long time to test on animals,” Yuen said, without giving a specific time frame on when it would be ready for patients.
But he said it would take months to test the vaccine on animals and at least another year to conduct clinical trials on humans before it was fit for use.
HKU researchers based it on a nasal spray influenza vaccine previously invented by Yuen’s team.
