Dr. Fauci says he's 'cautiously optimistic' about COVID-19 vaccine trials
Researchers developing a vaccine for the novel coronavirus have already achieved a milestone that has eluded colleagues working for decades on a vaccine for HIV, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.
The early results were encouraging: Eight of those in the trial developed a specific type of antibody that is associated with stopping the virus from infecting people. "The question is: Was it immediately safe? Clearly, it was," Fauci said of the prospective vaccine."But, importantly, it induced the kind of response that you would predict would be protective against the virus."Several companies are working to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. On Thursday, the US government agreed to pay the British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca up to $1.2 billion to secure 300 million doses of its experimental vaccine.
