First Coronavirus Vaccine Tested in Humans Generates Immune Response, Appears Safe

The first vaccine for COVID-19 to be tested in humans appears to be safe and able to stimulate an immune response against the virus.

The vaccine manufacturer, Moderna, said Monday that the findings are based on results from the first eight people who received two doses of the vaccine mRNA-1273 beginning in March.

The healthy volunteers made antibodies against COVID-19 that were then tested in human cells in a lab. The antibodies produced by the volunteers were able to stop the virus from replicating, the key to an effective vaccine.
