COVID-19 vaccine
A COVID-19 vaccine is a hypothetical vaccine against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19). Although no vaccine
has completed clinical trials, there are multiple attempts in progress to develop such a vaccine. In late February
2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it did not expect a vaccine against severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative virus, to become available in less than 18 months.[1] The
Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) – which is organizing a US$2 billion worldwide fund for
rapid investment and development of vaccine candidates[2] – indicated in April that a vaccine may be available under
emergency use protocols in less than 12 months or by early 2021.[3]

In April 2020, 115 vaccine candidates were in development,[3][4] with five having been initiated in Phase I-II safety
and efficacy studies in human subjects, and six in Phase I trials.

2020 projects
COVID-19 was identified in December 2019.[5] A major outbreak spread around the world in 2020, leading to
considerable investment and research activity to develop a vaccine.[5][6] Many organizations are using published
genomes to develop possible vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.[5][7][8][9] In the United States, the Food and Drug
Administration announced its intent "to use all of the regulatory flexibility granted to it by Congress to ensure the
most efficient and timely development of vaccines to fight COVID‑19."[10]

Some 100 organizations or companies are involved in vaccine development.[4] The BioHealth Capital Region, which
is the 4th largest biopharma cluster in the United States,[11] has 8 companies directly contributing to COVID-19
vaccine progress.[12] Five hundred clinical studies worldwide, across all stages of development on vaccine and
therapeutic candidates for COVID‑19, were registered with the World Health Organization Clinical Trial Registry, as
of March 2020.[13]

In early March 2020, CEPI announced a US$2 billion funding goal in a global partnership between public, private,
philanthropic, and civil society organisations to accelerate development of COVID‑19 vaccines, with commitments to
date by the governments of Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, and the UK.[2] In March-April, the Canadian
Government initiated a CA$1.3 billion innovation fund for vaccine research, development, and clinical trials through
2022.[14]

Stated in April, imperatives of the CEPI initiative for vaccine development are speed, manufacturing capacity,
deployment at scale, and global access.[3]

Technology platforms

In April, CEPI scientists reported that 10 different technology platforms were under research and development
during early 2020 to create an effective vaccine against COVID‑19.[3] Major platform targets advanced into Phase I
safety studies include:

nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) (Phase I developer and vaccine candidate: Moderna, mRNA-1273)
viral vector (Phase I developer and vaccine candidate: CanSino Biologics, adenovirus type 5 vector)
virus-like particle involved in DNA replication (Phase I developer and vaccine candidate: Shenzhen Geno-
Immune Medical Institute, LV-SMENP)

According to CEPI, the platforms based on DNA or messenger RNA offer considerable promise to alter COVID‑19
antigen functions for strong immune responses, and can be rapidly assessed, refined for long-term stability, and
prepared for large-scale production capacity.[3] Other platforms being developed in 2020 focus on peptides,
recombinant proteins, live attenuated viruses, and inactivated viruses.[3]

In general, the vaccine technologies being developed for COVID‑19 are not like vaccines already in use to prevent
influenza, but rather are using "next-generation" strategies for precision on the COVID‑19 infection mechanisms,
while hastening development for eventually preventing infection with a new vaccine.[3] Vaccine platforms in
development are also designed to address mechanisms for infection susceptibility to COVID‑19 in specific population
subgroups, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, or people with existing weakened immune systems.[3]

CEPI classifies development stages for vaccines as either "exploratory" (planning and designing a candidate, with no
evaluation in vivo yet), "preclinical" (in vivo evaluation with preparation for manufacturing a compound to test in
humans), or initiation of Phase I safety studies in healthy people.[3]

Vaccine candidates
As reported by CEPI scientists in April, some 115 total vaccine candidates are in early stages of development as either
confirmed active projects or in "exploratory" or "preclinical" development.[3]

Phase I trials test primarily for safety and preliminary dosing in a few dozen healthy subjects, while Phase II trials –
following success in Phase I – evaluate immunogenicity, dose levels (efficacy based on biomarkers) and adverse
effects of the candidate vaccine, typically in hundreds of people.[15][16] A Phase I-II trial conducts preliminary safety
and immunogenicity testing, is typically randomized, placebo-controlled, and at multiple sites, while determining
more precise, effective doses.[16] Phase III trials typically involve more participants, including a control group, and
test effectiveness of the vaccine to prevent the disease, while monitoring for adverse effects at the optimal dose.[15][16]

Clinical trials started in 2020

Preclinical research

In April, the WHO issued a statement representing dozens of vaccine scientists around the world, pledging
collaboration to speed development of a vaccine against COVID‑19.[35] The WHO coalition is encouraging
international cooperation between organizations developing vaccine candidates, national regulatory and policy
agencies, financial contributors, public health associations, and governments for eventual manufacturing of a
successful vaccine in quantities sufficient to supply all affected regions, particularly low-resource countries.[3]
Industry analysis of vaccine development historically shows failure rates of 84-90%.[3][36]

Because COVID‑19 is a novel virus target with properties still being discovered and requiring innovative vaccine
technologies and development strategies, the risks associated with developing a successful vaccine across all steps of
preclinical and clinical research are high.[3] To assess potential for vaccine efficacy, unprecedented computer
simulations and new COVID‑19-specific animal models are being developed, but these methods remain untested by
unknown characteristics of the COVID‑19 virus, and are being organized multinationally during 2020.[3] Of the
confirmed active vaccine candidates, about 70% are being developed by private companies, with the remaining
projects under development by academic, government coalitions, and health organizations.[3] Most of the vaccine
developers are small firms or university research teams with little experience in successful vaccine design and limited
capacity for advanced clinical trial costs and manufacturing without partnership by multinational pharmaceutical
companies.[3] The general geographic distribution of COVID‑19 vaccine development involves organizations in the
United States and Canada, together having about 46% of the world's active vaccine research, compared with 36% in
Asian countries, including China, and 18% in Europe.[3]

In early April, CEPI scientists stated that 115 vaccine candidates were in development as either
"exploratory/preclinical" projects or in Phase I safety trials in human participants.[3] The table derives from tracking
public sources for progress on emerging vaccine candidates scheduled for Phase I trial starts in 2020.[4]

Scheduled Phase I trials in 2020

Many vaccine candidates under design or preclinical development for COVID‑19 in 2020, will not gain approval for
human studies due to toxicity, ineffectiveness to induce immune responses or dosing failures in laboratory animals,
or because of underfunding.[37][38] The probability of success for an infectious disease vaccine candidate to pass
preclinical barriers and reach Phase I of human testing is 41-57%.[37]

Legal status
On February 4, 2020, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar published a notice of declaration under
the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act for medical countermeasures against COVID‑19, covering
"any vaccine, used to treat, diagnose, cure, prevent, or mitigate COVID‑19, or the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or a
virus mutating therefrom", and stating that the declaration precludes "liability claims alleging negligence by a
manufacturer in creating a vaccine, or negligence by a health care provider in prescribing the wrong dose, absent
willful misconduct".[58] The declaration is effective in the United States through October 1, 2024.

History
Vaccines have been produced against several diseases caused by coronaviruses for animal use, including for
infectious bronchitis virus in birds, canine coronavirus and feline coronavirus.[59]

Previous projects to develop vaccines for viruses in the family Coronaviridae that affect humans have been aimed at
severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Vaccines against SARS[60]
and MERS[61] have been tested in non-human animal models. As of 2020, there is no cure or protective vaccine for
SARS that has been shown to be both safe and effective in humans.[62][63] According to research papers published in
2005 and 2006, the identification and development of novel vaccines and medicines to treat SARS was a priority for
governments and public health agencies around the world.[64][65][66]

There is also no proven vaccine against MERS.[67] When MERS became prevalent, it was believed that existing SARS
research may provide a useful template for developing vaccines and therapeutics against a MERS-CoV
infection.[62][68] As of March 2020, there was one (DNA based) MERS vaccine which completed phase I clinical trials
in humans,[69] and three others in progress, all of which are viral-vectored vaccines, two adenoviral-vectored
(ChAdOx1-MERS, BVRS-GamVac), and one MVA-vectored (MVA-MERS-S).[70]

Misinformation
Social media posts have promoted a conspiracy theory claiming the virus behind COVID‑19 was known and that a
vaccine was already available. The patents cited by various social media posts reference existing patents for genetic
sequences and vaccines for other strains of coronavirus such as the SARS coronavirus.[71][72]
