Scientists and Medical researchers across the world are inching closer to creating a vaccine to combat the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thanks to the unprecedented efforts of the scientific community and researchers around the globe.

Currently there are more than 125 vaccine candidates in different stages of clinical trials. Out of those, 35 potential vaccines have reached the crucial human testing phase. As the novel Coronavirus continues to ravage countries across the world, it has been well established that a vaccine fit for human use will prove to be our biggest ammunition against this fight with the highly infectious contagion.

There are 8 vaccine candidates which are currently undergoing last stage human testing. The Oxford vaccine, developed by the researchers at Oxford University is being touted as the front runner in this vaccine race. AstraZeneca, the British Swedish pharmaceutical giant which has partnered with Oxford University for their novel vaccine, has already started late-stage trials in India, Brazil and South Africa.
