Army scientists plan to start testing new COVID-19 vaccines on humans as soon as this coming September if small animals -- such as mice now being tested -- succeed in developing antibodies after receiving a new prototype vaccine.
“The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research has now produced three vaccine types, with the Army planning to select one to move forward to initial clinical testing in humans,” Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told reporters April 16.
Candidates for human testing are slated to arrive as soon as June of this year, once a vaccine prototype is determined to be safe for human experimentation, Terry Welch, strategic communications director, Walter Reed Institute of Research, told Warrior.
