A clinical trial is now being held for a vaccine aimed at activating the immune system to combat COVID-19 says The director of research at the Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology,\u00a0 Dr Gerardo Guillen.<\/p>\n

Dr. Guillen said during a recent television interview that the drug, called CIGB 2020, is undergoing trials at the Luis Diaz hospital in Havana with volunteer patients suspected of being carriers of the disease.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Guillen there are 41 vaccine projects around the world and only 5 have started their first studies in patients.<\/p>\n

He stressed that this current project will take some time develop: \u201cThis is a future project that will allow, in a long-term control of the disease, if there is a re-emergence, having a specific vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n
