UK To Infect Volunteers With COVID-19 To Test Vaccine Efficacy
With an intent to reduce the lengthy testing period for vaccines and to determine their efficacy, a UK-based company is planning to infect volunteers with COVID-19. The biotech firm has already started work to determine the right form and dose of the virus. Reportedly, the company will vaccinate the volunteers and then infect them with the virus, to check if they fall sick. However, trials will have to be approved by the UK regulatory body.
