Nearly two dozen possible Covid-19 vaccines are in various stages of testing around the worldThe first Covid-19 vaccine tested in the US revved up people’s immune systems just the way scientists had hoped, researchers reported Tuesday — as the shots are poised to begin key final testing. Fauci said final testing would include older adults, as well as people with chronic health conditions that make them more vulnerable to the virus — and Black and Latino populations likewise affected. Nearly two dozen possible Covid-19 vaccines are in various stages of testing around the world. Candidates from China and Britain’s Oxford University also are entering final testing stages. The 30,000-person study will mark the world’s largest study of a potential Covid-19 vaccine so far.
