Israel to start human trials of coronavirus vaccine next week
The first phase of the trial will test 80 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 55.
Israel will begin testing a COVID-19 vaccine on volunteers this Sunday, the Defense Ministry said, as the country grapples with how best to contain its deadly coronavirus outbreak.
“This is a day of hope for the citizens of Israel,” Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said. “I would like to thank the dozens of researchers who worked day and night on this national mission.”
