UPMC doctors in Pa. say they’ve developed a coronavirus vaccine

Doctors and researchers at UPMC in Pittsburgh said Thursday they have created a vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and are seeking federal permission to begin testing it for safety.
They said they began working on it Jan. 21 and found mice had developed antibodies against COVID-19 about two weeks after receiving the vaccine. They said they based the vaccine on work previously done at UPMC that sought to create vaccines to protect against SARS and MERS, which they said are similar to the new coronavirus.

National experts have been saying it will take 12-18 months until a vaccine to fight COVID-19 is available. The UPMC researchers said their timetable will depend on approvals and feedback from the federal government, and they don’t know how long it will take. However, they hope the need for the vaccine will lead to an “expedited” approval process.
They said they are ready to begin trials as soon as they receive government approval.
They further said their vaccine is one that is easily scalable to produce in large quantities. It also includes a unique delivery method in which hundreds of tiny needles are in a patch similar to a Band-Aid, with the needles, made of sugar and protein particles, dissolving into the skin to deliver the vaccine.

There’s like 30 vaccines already. It’s just a matter of getting them through all the trials

I hope one of these actually works.
It’s starting to feel like Corey Feldman saying he’s going to out a bunch of pedos

Your title is misleading.
Researchers and Doctors.
More than likely almost exclusively the scientists.

If plausible, that delivery method is absolute genius stuff.

Not my title, cut and past from the article.

There's already a ton of vaccines developed. Why did it take them so long?

Sounds like the anthrax vaccine I had to get

All the trials? You mean, making sure every pharm company gets their cut? If we wait to go thru all the bullshite trials, the virus will have moved on to 20 other versions. Why is it that every other modern nation in the world can get a new drug approved in a reasonable amount of time, but the good old US takes 20 years? That was rhetorical.

I read of other possible vaccines coming from SARS and MERS work, but testing on those works on humans was always pushed off. Don't they have some safe vaccines for corona viruses for animals already? It's the possible side effects in humans that has been the biggest concern, and each time SARS and MERS slowed down testing on humans was pushed off here and across the globe.
I read Wuhan strain was 80% similar to SARS & MERS. I wonder if anyone who recovered from them and now either exposed or actually infected by Wuhan strain has had any added resilience against this one.
