Oxford University announced that its coronavirus vaccine worked successfully in monkeys

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 . . .
