Coronavirus Vaccine Faces Bumpy Road From Lab to Jab

Steve Baragona

   WASHINGTON - The first possible vaccine against coronavirus is on its
   way to human testing.

   Just six weeks elapsed between when Chinese scientists released the
   sequence of the novel virus and when [1]biotech company Moderna shipped
   its vaccine to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease
   to begin testing.

   It's a record-breaking pace for vaccine development. Seveal other
   companies also are working to get their vaccines into clinical trials.
