The first experimental COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. is on track to begin a huge study next month to prove if it really can fend off the coronavirus, its manufacturer announced Thursday, June 11 -- a long-awaited step in the global vaccine race. The vaccine, developed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will be tested in 30,000 volunteers -- some given the real shot and some a dummy shot. (AP Photo/Ted S.

El laboratorio alemán CureVac va a realizar ensayos clínicos de una vacuna contra el nuevo coronavirus, anunció el miércoles la autoridad federal competente que le dio luz verde, mientras el mundo está inmerso en una carrera contrarreloj.

Se trata "de una etapa importante hacia la autorización de una vacuna segura y eficaz contra la covid-19 para la población en Alemania y más allá", celebró esta autoridad, el Instituto Paul-Ehrlich en un comunicado.

Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), actualmente hay 11 potenciales vacunas contra el nuevo coronavirus que se están ensayando en seres humanos en el mundo.
