- Australian scientists claim they have created coronavirus vaccine
- The vaccine is not ready for masses yet.
- The human trial will begin in a few months, suggested by the University of Queensland Australia.
- About $30 million will be spent in vaccine production that is expected to be ready by the end of 2020.

Coronavirus has now effected over 300,000 people around the globe. The virus has been reported in over 180 countries with a death count exceeding 10,000.
The virus outbreak has been termed a pandemic by global organizations. Such is the severity of this issue.
In such a time, people tend to keep high hopes from research institutes and scientists. Australian scientists from the University of Queensland have not disappointed us at all. This is major progress in creating a vaccine for this virus as Australia would be the second country to have such a claim.

Though the vaccine could be made available only by the end of this year, there is still hope. Human trials are also very important. This will ensure that the vaccine kills coronavirus inside humans without creating any side effects thereafter.

It is important to understand that there are certain procedures these scientists have to go through before commercializing a chemical.
The first phase involves testing various samples of the vaccine on animals. This process can take an indefinite amount of time as nobody is sure of the results at this stage.
The second phase is human trials. This can begin only after several test subjects (animals) show full recovery. We should be aware of the fact that human trials can’t be simplified or compared to animal trials.
The final phase is production. Once human trials are completed and the results are as expected, production begins.
Australian scientists have done a remarkable job in the first phase of creating a coronavirus vaccine. Animal trials have been successful. Let’s hope for the best ahead.
