A Vaccine for All Coronaviruses | COVID-19 Media Briefing HD

A new vaccine under development at Duke University has the potential to protect against a broad variety of coronavirus infections that move from animals to humans, now and in the future. The new vaccine – called a pan-coronavirus vaccine - has been 100 percent effective in non-human tests including testing on primates. Success in primates is very relevant to humans. On Monday, two key researchers on the vaccine development project spoke with reporters about their findings thus far and their hopes that this vaccine could eventually give a dramatic boost to the current vaccines combatting COVID-19.

Media Briefings Playlist ➡ http://duke.is/RA7pNR () The Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) continues to lead with cutting edge vaccine research against infectious diseases that impact global health. The investigators at the DHVI conduct basic and translational research to develop novel vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics for diseases such as HIV-1, tuberculosis, influenza, syphilis, gonorrhea, cytomegalovirus, rotavirus, parainfluenza, zika flavivirus, plague, and now SARS-CoV-2. Several DHVI investigator-led basic science discoveries are currently being produced in Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) facilities for early phase vaccine trials. A private research university located in Durham, North Carolina, Duke University is known as one of the world’s leading institutions for education, research, and patient care.
