Thailand plans human testing for potential coronavirus vaccine
There are no approved vaccines for the virus that causes COVID-19, but 19 candidates are being trailed in humans globally.
Thai researchers plan to begin human trials of a potential vaccine for the new coronavirus in November and are preparing 10,000 doses, a senior official said on Sunday, aiming for a vaccine that could be ready for use by late next year.
“At first we were going to send them in June, but it was not easy to plan everything,” Kiat told a news conference.
Thailand's first facility should complete production in October and send the products to a second facility, which should finish by November, he said. Originally the earliest target was September, but Kiat said not enough vaccine can be ready by then.
