Biotechs Working Closely & Feverishly With CDC for COVID-19 Vaccine Development

Many companies searching for an effective therapy or vaccine for the present world health crisis are focusing on creating a vaccine from the immune system. Key to the race to develop a vaccine for the new coronavirus is a technology that uses the virus' genetic code to essentially persuade your body to make its own vaccine. This technique is faster than egg-based manufacturing, which produces the majority of annual flu vaccines… And it's enabling a possible vaccine for the new coronavirus to be developed in record time. A recent article in USA Today said: ""It's quicker to get started," said Clem Lewin, who is working on vaccine candidates for the manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur. "All you need is the blueprint for the protein." Testing still will take time. Scientists must determine whether any of several vaccine candidates fight the virus effectively. If so, they need to determine the proper dose. This tinkering is what could take a year or more.  The article continued: "When the first potential vaccine from the manufacturer Moderna was injected into people on March, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he believed the coronavirus vaccine was being developed at a record pace.
