Coronavirus: Can COVID-19 Vaccine Eliminate Coronavirus Entirely?

WHO recently led to establish a global vaccine research team composed of scientists, doctors, funders and manufacturers. The WHO statement stated that this would help reduce inefficiency and duplication of labor. Earlier, the document issued by the WHO on April 11 stated that there were three vaccines that had entered clinical trials globally. There are 67 vaccines that have not yet entered clinical trials.

According to the State Council of China, China is researching and developing in five technical directions including inactivated vaccines, genetically engineered recombinant subunit vaccines, adenovirus vector vaccines, attenuated influenza virus vector vaccines, and nucleic acid vaccines.

There are also two genetic vaccines in the United States that have entered clinical trials.

There are about total 70 company and organization working on coronavirus researching and developing. Can vaccine eliminate coronavirus entirely?

The biggest problem is that the coronavirus vaccine is still being developed, and luckily it may come out in the second half of this year as soon as possible. But it is not certainty. There are several possibilities.

• COVID-19 Vaccine By Oxford University Will Begin Human Body Trials On Thursday (2020/04/21)
• New Mutating of Coronaviurs May Affect COVID-19 Vaccine Research and Development
• Breakings News of Coronavirus at Apr 4, 2020
• Mask-Wearing Policies Added to San Diego County’s Public Health Order
• Fighting Against COVID-19 is A Life Long War

• Does the first vaccine have a real protective effect on Coronavirus? It is unknown;

• Is the vaccine safe enough to human body?

• One more important factor is coronavirus is unstable and will mutate in short time. So could the vaccine handle all mutations?

With the 3 questions, a developed vaccine in market might be able to cope coronavirus in one or two years with most possibility. Like the flu vaccine, it is changed every year because it changes quickly. Then the novel coronavirus may also have the same situation.

And if the vaccine is developed two years later, it is possible that the vaccine may have no protective effect, or weak protective effect. Then people have to restart the research and development. Most vaccine are developed base on some coronavirus specimen in nowadays.

So there is still a lot of uncertainty about how to control the virus. Coronavirus is not able to become extinct. But vaccines are definitely the most important means of preventing infections that everyone is most concerned about.
