The vaccination rate has taken cruising speed in most developed countries that are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The coronavirus has completely changed the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world and vaccines have become the great hope to return to the normality that we always knew.
In this sense, we already know a few vaccines that different countries have developed in recent months. Names like Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna have become part of our vocabulary.
In Spain, the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) continues to develop its own drug that promises to have 100% immunity to the coronavirus, something that none of the existing vaccines at the moment have.
In command of the operations is Luis Enjuanes, virologist and professor at the CSIC who, thanks to the work he develops at the National Center for Biotechnology, the Spanish vaccine seems to be closer.
A vaccine against infection and transmission
For a long time, the work of Spanish researchers has been developing at a steady, albeit slow, pace. What has been achieved seems promising, although Enjuanes himself assured the media that the vaccine would not be available before 2022.
“We are going to need the remainder of the year to do preclinical trials that are first done in humanized mice, in hamsters and in macaque monkeys. The clinical trials will begin next year and until the end of next year 2022 we will not be ready to go on the market » Rinses in the Fundación Alternativas forum, so that until 2022 the Spanish sterilizing vaccine will not be available.
Regarding its composition, the head of the project explained that it is a “defined chemical” vaccine, unlike the rest of the coronavirus vaccines that use living organisms.
For this reason, the Spanish vaccine is hopeful since, according to experts, it would provide 100% immunity to patients: “it is called sterilizing when you administer a lethal dose to a mouse and the virus cannot grow from the beginning. This is very important and contrasts with some vaccines that are in circulation, “Enjuanes told those present.
A promising breakthrough for the vaccine system fighting to eradicate and control the coronavirus. In this sense, the Spanish vaccine will have a high immunity capacity and will also protect its carriers against the transmission of the virus , something very important to return to normality.
