Recombinant COVID-19 vaccine has been developed by the team led by Chen Wei, a leading Chinese epidemiologist and a major-general in China's People's Liberation Army and it has been approved to launch clinical trials in China, China state television reported. Two weeks ago, it was also reported that Wei injected herself and her six-member team with an untested coronavirus vaccine.
Wei was employed in the same Wuhan lab from where coronavirus COVID 19 strain had escaped.
Yesterday, it was reported that first volunteers received shots of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine in the United States, amid global search for a cure for the coronavirus disease.
