Walter Reed in Silver Spring optimistic on coronavirus vaccine

Researchers think one vaccine will

be effective on all existing Covid strains

Researchers developing a coronavirus candidate vaccine at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the Forest Glen area of Silver Spring are optimistic that it could be effective on all known strains of Covid-19. The Miami Herald reports that Walter Reed scientists are finding minimal mutation happening within the virus so far. They also believe that the vaccine could also provide immunity for some strains of the common cold. Walter Reed's trials have so far been limited to monkeys, however. Human trials are anticipated to begin later this year.
