The team recently began testing a vaccine candidate in people that—if effective—could possibly become available as early as September
For the first human trial of the new COVID-19 vaccine, the researchers recruited 1,110 healthy volunteers from around the United Kingdom. Half will be randomly assigned to receive the COVID-19 vaccine candidate; the rest will be given a meningitis vaccine as a placebo

By the end of May, the scientists will begin a larger trial with 5,000 volunteers and follow them over time to see if the vaccine actually prevents people from catching COVID-19. How long it takes to show that the vaccine is effective will depend on how the pandemic plays out.
 

More than 90 different vaccines for COVID-19 are under development in labs around the world, and at least six have moved into human trials.
