Today, Covid-19 vaccine data from three different trials was released. And they are promising.
The vaccine data is from trial results of three different companies. They are from AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech and CanSino Biologics. This is being widely reported by news media.
Last week, U.S.-based Moderna reported their results, too. And they were also positive.
More, the results reported on Phase 1 and Phase 2 human trials. And they focus on both safety and immune response.
The studies indicate that all four vaccines might confer immunity. But it requires additional testing.
The World Health Organization reports that there are 23 vaccine candidates. And they are in different stages of testing. Bunt there are many steps until they receive a license.
More research is needed.

Masks Telegraph a Key Health Message
A mask is a health message. Wearing one telegraphs an important health message.
A mask reminds the person wearing it that the virus is serious. It also reminds others of the same message, too. Please set a positive example for others. Wear a mask.
Masks Protect the Person Wearing the Mask
Masks help protect us from the virus. This is key.
Masks Protect Others, too
Masks also protect others if we have the virus. It can be days before symptoms appear. Yet, you could still spread it. Also, some people carry the virus but never experience symptoms themselves.
Please wear a mask. And encourage others, too.
