Against the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), scientists are working to build immunity through 8 different approaches.
More than 100 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are being developed by research teams at companies and universities around the world. So far, 7 vaccines have entered international use:
- The BioNTech-Pfizer mRNA vaccine discovered by Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci
- The second coronavirus vaccine to receive FDA emergency use authorization: Moderna mRNA-1273
- Oxford vaccine
- Chinese vaccine
