A Seattle researcher who’s studying a coronavirus vaccine undergoing clinical trials is pleased with early results that show the vaccine mounts an immune response.
“Seeing this is just wonderful,” said Dr. John Dunn, a researcher with the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. Dunn said so far there’s no serious safety concerns with the vaccine, which is given in two shots, a month apart. One of the participants, Neal Browning of Bothell, WA said he did experience a little soreness at the injection site the morning after he received a dose but that only lasted a few minutes. “Much like you'd get when you had a typical flu shot,” Browning said.
We're not out of the woods on this virus, but progress is being made. 🙂

@mchill saidI'm still concerned about reports that some people get it two or three times.

Doesn't sound like much immunity there.
@suzianne saidThat could be an issue with their individual immune system, but if any given vaccine works for the vast majority of people then herd immunity via vaccine will make people with challenged immune systems a whole lot safer.

Are there any official stats in terms of the % of people who are reinfected?
