COVID-19: Vaccines in China and the UK

PUBLISHED: 24/07/2020

More than half a million people worldwide have succumbed to the Covid 19 virus, almost nine thousand here in Canada.

While the race is on with researchers to develop a vaccine, there are two potential inoculations that could be the answer. When they may be available is the question? Researchers at Oxford University in the UK have developed one with AstraZeneca, while CanSino has also developed one with the Chinese military. While these are a step in the right direction, you won’t be rolling up your sleeve any time soon.
