Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Tuesday(21-april-2020) that UK is set to begin her first human trials of a covid-19 vaccine this week. The covid-19 vaccine is being developed by scientists at Oxford University and a separate team at Imperial College in London. See details below:

"Both of these promising projects are making rapid progress, and I've told the scientists leading them that we'll do everything in our power to support," Mr Hancock said during Downing Street's daily press conference.

The Health Minister said he had freed up an extra 20 million pounds ($39 million) of funding to both projects, and the Oxford group, led by Professor Sarah Gilbert, would begin testing the vaccine in humans this week, with production potentially starting before the trial was complete

"In normal times, reaching this stage would take years, and I'm very proud of the work taken so far," Mr Hancock said.

"At the same time, we'll invest in manufacturing capability, so if either of these vaccines safely works, then we can make it available for the British people as soon as humanly possible."

That could be true. Some months back, I followed this health topic on quora and saw a post of a guy claiming to make some cash for volunteering himself to test new legit drugs for some pharmaceutical companies..
