Scientists at the Jenner Institute at Oxford University in the United Kingdom announced Monday that their potential vaccine against the new coronavirus passed a new stage with positive results: it worked successfully in rhesus macaque monkeys, perhaps the closest animal to humans in biological terms.
The institute is ahead in this type of effort - it has already begun its tests on hundreds of humans, a stage more advanced than those that have begun to do so in dozens - and advanced in positive initial testing, and with emergency approvals, it could have the first million doses in September . . .
