COVID VACCINE TRACKER.

Researchers are in the process of developing more than 170 potential vaccines to protect against coronavirus.



Never before have so many teams worked simultaneously to create a drug that could save the lives of millions of people.

The News is following the race to create a vaccine to protect against COVID-19.

Experts say it will only be when we have a fully functioning, tested and proven safe vaccine that the world can begin to return to normal.

Below is a tracker to help you follow the progress of the groups around the world trying to develop one first.

Currently leading the race is the Russian group from the Gamaleya Research Institute. Russia has approved the vaccine for use on its people even though it has not undergone the usual rounds of testing.

A British/Swedish group from the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca is close behind as it was the first to embark on Phase 3 testing - the final stage required before a licence is granted.
