Trial Vaccine For COVID-19 Stop Temporarily

Drug company AstraZeneca recently stop temporarily its vaccine trial for COVID-19 after one of the volunteers develop an illness which has not yet confirmed if it comes from the side effects of the vaccine or the volunteer have just sick.

The company stop it to investigate and study what happened in order to make sure they practice high safety measures in their vaccine.

“Drug giant AstraZeneca said Tuesday it had paused global trials of its coronavirus vaccine because of an unexplained illness in one of the volunteers.” (CNN)

“After one of its volunteers fell sick with an unexplained illness, the clinical trial testing AstraZeneca’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine has been temporarily put on hold. There’s no available evidence suggesting that the illness is linked to the vaccine, CNN reports. But AstraZeneca still needs to investigate and review its safety data before the trial can proceed. Otherwise, the researchers won’t know whether the volunteer just happened to get sick or if the vaccine has more side effects than they thought.” (Futurism)

The vaccine is called “Oxford Vaccine”. It is so-called because it is developed in Britain’s University of Oxford, US, UK, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, as the news said.

“The company is testing its vaccine, called the Oxford vaccine because it was developed with Britain's University of Oxford, in the United States as well as the UK, Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa.” (CNN)

“"As part of the ongoing randomized, controlled global trials of the Oxford coronavirus vaccine, our standard review process triggered a pause to vaccination to allow review of safety data," the company [AstraZeneca] said in a statement sent to CNN.” (CNN)

The main point : There are drug company like AstraZeneca experimenting a possible effective vaccine for COVID-19 but before the vaccine is released and officially use, it pass a trial or testing. Once it is found to be safe and effective it is then released for public use.
