The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford. Two volunteers, who are both scientists, have been injected with the experimental vaccine.

They are the first of more than 800 adults aged between 18 and 55 who have been recruited for the study. Half the group will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half will get a control vaccine which protects against meningitis. The results won't be known for several months.

Meanwhile the UK government has said that millions of key workers and their families will be eligible for a coronavirus test if they develop symptoms.

The Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced that they would be able to book a test online. More testing centres are being opened and the army will be helping establish mobile testing facilities.

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reports from Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh and Health Editor Hugh Pym.

We need a coronavirus vaccine to beat the pandemic, but that's a problem. Why? Because making a Covid-19 vaccine that works (and is safe) will take a long time.

Even the most hopeful estimates suggest it could take a year, but some believe we may have to wait until the end of 2021 to have a working cure, and that's before we tackle the problem of immunising the whole world.

In this video we explore the challenges facing those looking to create a coronavirus vaccine, how human trials work and explain why developing a cure for coronavirus will take such a long time.
The Vaccine to End the Pandemic?

CHINA VS. U.S.A: the race for a coronavirus vaccine What the world needs right now, and what many brilliant minds are devoted to discovering, is the know-how to stop COVID-19. A few days ago, an Australian company announced it hoped to begin human trials of a vaccine within weeks. But in other countries, especially China and the United States, developing – and owning – a coronavirus vaccine has become a bio-tech arms race with political overtones. Tom Steinfort reports there are fears any victories in this battle for scientific supremacy will also be seen as triumphs in the ongoing tussle for 21st century superpower domination.

How Fast Can We Make a Coronavirus Vaccine?As coronavirus continues to sweep around the globe, impacting billions of people’s lives physically, financially, and socially, teams around the globe are working tirelessly on finding sustainable and reliable vaccine solutions.

As of April 8th, there are 115 vaccine candidates in varying stages of research. Private companies like Moderna and Inovio are making headlines as they’re quickly progressing in the first stages of the vaccine approval process—a process that typically takes years is being pushed in a matter of months.

So how viable are any of these fast vaccines, and is it possible we will have a solution within the next year?

We spoke with Dr. Greg Poland, the Director at the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group, and Dr. Jerome Kim, the Director-General at the International Vaccine Institute to find out more about the potential timelines of these vaccines, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations or CEPI, and how vaccines work inside our bodies. Find out more in this Elements.

Coronavirus vaccine: when will we have one?

"There are still many unknowns with respect to Covid-19, including for how long any vaccine will provide protection. A strong indication of this will be whether people who have recovered from the disease can catch it again. There have been anecdotal reports of re-infection, but the phenomenon is not well understood."

"Today, some researchers are concerned the need to do something about coronavirus could create a similar rush. “It's likely there will be enormous pressure, both political and social, to get a vaccine into production quickly once it looks good in trials,” warns Stuart Blume, an emeritus professor of science at the University of Amsterdam and author of Immunization: How Vaccines Became Controversial."

"The vaccines most imminently starting trials for COVID-19 range from the promising but speculative to the highly promising but ethically fraught.
