The current COVID-19 pandemic has a tremendous impact on daily life world-wide. Despite the ability to dampen the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the diseases, through restrictive interventions, it is believed that only effective vaccines will provide sufficient control over the disease and revert societal live back to normal. At present, a double-digit number of efforts are devoted to the development of a vaccine against COVID-19. Here, we provide an overview of these (pre)clinical efforts and provide background information on the technologies behind these vaccines. In addition, we discuss potential hurdles that need to be addressed prior to mass scale clinical translation of successful vaccine candidates.
当前的 COVID-19 大流行对全球的日常生活产生了巨大影响。尽管通过限制干预措施能够抑制 SARS-CoV-2(引发该疾病的病原体)的传播,但人们认为只有有效的疫苗才能对该疾病进行充分控制,并使社会生活恢复正常。目前,有十多个团队致力于开发 COVID-19 疫苗。在这里,我们概述了这些(临床前)努力,并提供了这些疫苗背后技术的背景信息。此外,我们还讨论了在成功的候选疫苗大规模临床转化之前需要解决的潜在障碍。
