Russia testing MULTIPLE prototype Covid-2019 vaccines
Russia’s research center of virology and biotechnology, known as the Vector Institute, is testing multiple different vaccine prototypes against the Covid-19 disease, in a race to find a cure for the virus behind a global pandemic.
This week, the institute “began immunogenicity studies in sensitive laboratory animals ... of all developed vaccine prototypes,” said consumer watchdog agency Rospotrebnadzor in a statement on Friday.
The composition, dose, route of administration of the future vaccine will be determined [through the tests]. Scientists expect that the introduction of the vaccine will be possible in the fourth quarter of 2020.
