Race for a coronavirus vaccine has been underway at an exceptional rate, with more than 80 groups around the world participating on them.

Progress has been made in the fight against coronavirus, it has been recorded that a vaccine which can train people's immune system to fight coronavirus is underway, as reported by a company in the US.

“Neutralising antibodies were found in the first eight people who took part in their safety trials” said Moderna

It was also reported that the immune response was similar to that in people who are already infected with coronavirus.

The experimental vaccine called mRNA-1273 was first tested by Moderna in people.

The vaccine which is a small snippet of the coronavirus's genetic code, which is injected into the patient. It is enough to provoke a response from the immune system, though it is not proficient enough to cause an infection or the symptoms of Coronavirus.
It was reported that the vaccine can lead to the production of antibodies which can neutralise the coronavirus.
The vaccine trials are being run by the US government's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The vaccine study is tamed as a phase 1 trial because it is designed to test whether the vaccine is safe, rather than if it is effective.

Experiments conducted on mice shows that the vaccine could prevent the virus from replicating in their lungs. It will however take more trials to see if people are protected against the virus

"These interim phase 1 data, while early, demonstrate that vaccination with mRNA-1273 elicits an immune response of the magnitude caused by natural infection," said Dr Tal Zaks, chief medical officer at Moderna.
The vaccine trial for these neutralising antibodies has only taken place on the first eight out of 45 people on trial.

Those on the trial were either taking a low, middle or high dose. Those who took the highest dose was linked to most side-effects.

Though, Moderna said that even people taking the lowest dose had antibodies at the same levels seen in patients who recover from coronavirus, and antibodies "significantly exceeded" those in recuperated patients for people on the middle dose.

"These data substantiate our belief that mRNA-1273 has the potential to prevent Covid-19 disease and advance our ability to select a dose for pivotal trials."
Moderna said it hope to start a large-scale trial in July, and that investigating are already underway on how to produce the vaccine at large scale.
