The Serum Institute of India said it is going to start making a still-experimental coronavirus vaccine while it is still on trial.

The Serum Institute of India which produces 1.5 billion vaccine doses each year for an array of diseases said it will start production before the autumn target date of the Oxford trial.

The Oxford Vaccine Group says it hopes to complete human trials on the hAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in September.

But Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India told the Times of India on Monday that he would not wait that long.

He said the institute would produce five million units of the vaccine a month, for six months, to get ahead of demand.

"We are not waiting for the trials to get over in September in UK, and then start production here. The decision at our own risk and cost has been solely taken to get a jump-start on manufacturing, to have enough doses available, if the clinical trials prove successful," he said.

"We aim to manufacture four to five million doses per month for the first six months, following which, we might scale up to 10 million doses per month, based on the success of trials. We are looking to build it up to 20-40 million doses by September-October."

"We are planning to make the vaccine available at an affordable price of around 1,000 rupees ($13) in India," he said. Drug prices vary widely around the world, and the same treatment often costs many times more in other countries

6 monkeys given an experimental coronavirus vaccine from Oxford did not catch COVID-19 after heavy exposure, raising hopes for a human vaccine

The Jenner Institute, working as part of the Oxford Vaccine Group, is leading the global race for a coronavirus vaccine. The UK government has pledged £20 million, or $25 million, to the trial.

The vaccine given to the rhesus macaques is called hAdOx1 nCoV-19. Human trials began Thursday and are expected to be finished in September. The process of developing a vaccine is long, and even having a usable product by September would be unusually fast.

That's good, if it works on monkeys, it'll most likely work on humans too.

BTW, where are our micro biologist professors and medical researchers. What type of vaccine should we be expecting from them?
Our leaders, how much have you invested in developing our own vaccine, abi na siddon dey look, dey expect from other countries we sabi?

The problem is who would get the vaccine first?
This can be a difficult question when there’s a limited amount of vaccine and a whole lot of demand.

Since older adults appear to be most at risk from COVID-19, it’s likely that health officials would focus on them first.

Medical professionals, who are both at high risk of exposure and are needed to care for those who are sick would likely be a priority as well.

Followed by front-line healthcare workers who are usually one of the first groups to vaccinate because they need their workforce in place.

And lets not forget that the citizens of the country that produce the vaccines will be the first people to be vaccinated

Given all the steps that are required before a vaccine can be manufactured in large quantities and before it can be sold to other countries could take up to 18 months. Then, for it to get to the African populace, make we leave story for another day.

Bottom line! Keep washing your hands, wear protective face masks, Only God will save the Black man.
