Is there a vaccine for Covid-19?

Pneumonia vaccines, such as pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine, unfortunately, do not protect against coronavirus.

 Covid-19 Vaccine

Covid-19 is so new and specific that a vaccine of its own needs to be developed. Dozens of clinical trials are currently underway.  Thus, the Humoral Immunology laboratory of the Institut Pasteur and Inserm are actively working on the search for effective antibodies. Tests are also being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the BCG vaccine in the fight against the new coronavirus. Under normal circumstances, the development cycle of a vaccine takes several years. However, in today's environment, companies are accelerating the pace of research and shortening development times.
