Coronavirus mostly attributed to novel-Coronavirus 2019, is a deadly virus infected more than 100,000 people worldwide and is rapidly spreading. This coronavirus outbreak resulted in deaths of more than 3000 infected individuals, causing a severe emergency situation worldwide.

Novel-Coronavirus belong to the family of coronaviruses often blamed for common colds and flu but this deadly specie is most dangerous and can claim lives of its hosts. In past, the same virus family infected thousands of people in 2003, remembered as SARS outbreak. SARS and MERS both have been caused by the same family of viruses. SARS was believed to be transferred to humans through monkeys and MERS through camels to humans. Novel- Coronnavirus has spread to more than countries affecting people from every walk of life directly or indirectly.

Viral Vaccine Production:

Currently there is no any vaccine present for coronavirus that can provide immunity from the virus. There a question arises that whether the scientists be able to stop this spread of virus by developing vaccines? Will there be any vaccine for coronavirus? If yes, then how much will it take to reach to market?

These questions need to be answered but there is no reply. Some researchers have claimed of developing a new vaccine for coronavirus that will go through animal trial this week, the clinical trials may also start by this year.

But even if scientists can celebrate having developed a vaccine before Christmas, there is still the massive job of being able to mass-produce it.

There are already 4 coronaviruses circulating in humans and causing colds, fever, flu but we do not get vaccines for them. As they are less fatal and our body’s response is enough for combating them.

Immunity against coronavirus:

The vaccine don’t depend on age factor mostly but it is clear that it will not boost the immunity of aged people. If it then it can do it to a little extent because aged immune systems don’t respond well to immunizations.

Vaccines are either live or dead bacteria or viruses that have been weakened and sometimes they are fragmented and certain fragments are taken up and made vaccines. Our human body recognizes them as pathogens ( foreign invaders) and synthesizes antibiotics to kill the pathogens.
