Oxford University scientists are manufacturing a\u00a0<\/span>million doses of a potential COVID-19<\/a> vaccine even before its effectiveness has been proven. The shots will be available by September, reported Reuters<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

An experimental product<\/h2>\n

The experimental product is called “ChAdOx1 nCoV-19.” It is a recombinant viral vector vaccine.<\/p>\n

Currently, there are at least 70<\/strong> potential COVID-19<\/a> candidate shots under development, with at least five of those in preliminary testing.<\/p>\n

The Oxford researchers are now recruiting volunteers for Phase 1 human trials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We have started at risk manufacturing of this vaccine not just on a smallish scale … but with a network of manufacturers in as many as seven different places around the world,” Adrian Hill, a professor\u00a0and director of the Jenner Institute at Oxford University, told reporters in an online briefing, according to Reuters<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“The aim is to have at least a million doses by around about September when we also hope to have efficacy (trial) results.”<\/p>\n

This “at-risk” manufacturing indicates that the shots will be produced in large quantities despite the risk of being useless if trials show them to be ineffective.<\/p>\n

Hill and his team of researchers also revealed they had plans for safety and mid-stage efficacy trials within weeks. The team would be targeting adults aged between 18 and 55 for these trials.<\/p>\n

This group will then be expanded to older adults, and a final phase trial with around 5,000<\/strong> volunteers will hopefully run in the late summer.<\/p>\n

Although nothing can be guaranteed, the team said they had “a high degree of confidence” in the ChAdOx1 shot’s effectiveness.<\/p>\n

“We can never be certain these things are going to work,” one of the team’s members\u00a0Sarah Gilbert, an Oxford professor of vaccinology,<\/span> said in the briefing. “My view is that I think this one has a very strong chance of working.”<\/p>\n
