The ministry of defense Russia says a “safe” corona virus vaccine has been developed, following clinical trials on volunteers.
The ministry said there were 18 people who participated in the research and were discharged without any “serious adverse events, health complaints, complications or side effects”.
The
results of the trials “allow us to speak with confidence about the
safety and good reliability of the vaccine”.
They did not for a fact say if the vaccine was efficient but one of the doctors working on the trials said the volunteers were now protected against the virus.
“Their immunity is working well, antibodies are being created, they are protected against the coronavirus,” was reported by Svetlana Volchikhina in a video released by the defense ministry.
The volunteers were being isolated in a military hospital in Moscow on June 18 when the vaccine was tested on them.
The defense ministry later reported that “for 28 days after
vaccination, the vital signs of the volunteers remained within normal
limits.We now know that we are 100 percent protected,”
A second group of participants who were vaccinated on June 23 are currently in isolation in hospital under medical supervision.
The defense ministry has said clinical trials are expected to be fully completed by the end of July.
