Covid-19 Vaccine Could Be Ready By Late June - UK Scientists Predict by Emmanuel3810(m): 9:20pm On May 22, 2020
- A group of scientists in the UK is working on making a cure to coronavirus available as soon as late June

- Using a process called recovery trial, the medical officials are looking at a combination of drugs that have been effective in making patients recover

- Among the drugs are hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir-ritonavir, and tocilizumab which have been administered to Covid-19 patients


Scientists have predicted that a vaccine for coronavirus could be ready as soon as results of over 10,000 Covid-19 patients who were involved in a clinical trial are ready by late June 2020.

The Sun UK reports that if the experts carrying out the trial process are successful, the vaccine could be rolled out immediately.

According to the same media [url]internhubng.com[/url] the recovery trial is a scientific evaluation that looks at overall Covid-19 therapy and medications that were administered with the hope of getting the combination that is effective in treating patients.

The deputy chief investigator of the trial at Oxford University, Professor Martin Landray, said they are being meticulous with their process

Landry added that a combination of different drugs could be the best way to beat the coronavirus once and for all.

It should be noted that among the drugs that have been tested and that could make the final combination are hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir-ritonavir, and tocilizumab.

Another thing worthy of note is that when the vaccine is ready, it can be administered into a patient’s body through a nasal spray, the same way the virus gets into the human body.
