Pharmaceutical Company Moderna Reports Initial Success In the First Phase of Its Covid Vaccine Trial
Moderna's stock price jumped 40%. The DJIA jumped almost one thousand points.
The pharmaceutical company Moderna announced Monday that its vaccine, the first to be tested in people, appears to be safe and is stimulating an immune response against the novel virus.
The trial's results are base around eight people who received doses of the virus beginning in March. The volunteers, who were healthy, produced antibodies that were determined to be effective in preventing the virus from replicating.
The company will now proceed along an accelerated timetable by moving to immediately begin a second phase involving 600 people. The third trial will begin in July, and will involve thousands of healthy volunteers.
