Control measures and vaccine development against Corona virus

The World Health Organization has declared the worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 a pandemic, which has led to catalyze the efforts of developing novel coronavirus vaccines across the biotech industry, both by pharmaceutical companies and research organizations.

Coronavirus vaccines are in various stages of development and scientists are working around the clock to find a solution. Different approaches, such as the development of whole virus vaccine, recombinant protein subunit vaccine, antibody vaccine, and nucleic acid vaccines are among them. And some are trying new routes to administer vaccines such as intranasal coronavirus vaccine and an oral recombinant vaccine in tablet formulations.
