Reporter every other year, for nearly 20 years, kay yoshioka and jack diruike spend a day in a San Francisco clinic where a team of visiting japanese specialists check for cancer, blood diseases, and anything else that might be traced to what happened 50 years ago. Kay was 8 years old then, americanborn, but living in japan because her family had moved back to care for her grandmother. That summer, with american planes firebombing big cities, the japanese government evacuated children to rural areas. Kay was one of them.

And sparks flying off from the center of it. Reporter like kay, jack had been stranded in hiroshima for four years. Born in sacramento, an american child taken by his father to see a dying grandparent. By the summer of 1945, jack was in a military factory. The morning of august 6th was the beginning of a normal day. There was no warning at all. Streetcars running, people on the street, people reading the morning paper and so forth. 8 15 came, boom, the bomb exploded.

Johnson johnson has reached a 1 billion deal with the federal government to mass produce 100 million doses of their vaccine candidate if its proven safe and effective. This morning were getting a peek inside the lab where its all happening. Abcs bob woodruff takes us behind the scenes. Reporter this week we got a firsthand look inside this lab in boston. Home to the scientists developing a possible covid19 vaccine for the allamerican Pharmaceutical CompanyJohnson Johnson. Just last week the Company Announced not only does their vaccine work on monkeys, but it was accomplished with a single dose. Shortly after their announcement, theyve begun early human trials. If you prove that it works fine on a monkey, whats the chances of it working with a human . Thats a very good question. I would say that if the vaccine works well in monkeys, it would certainly increase our optimism that the vaccine will work in humans. Reporter dr. Barouch has been studying Vaccine Development for nearly two decades, battling Infectious Diseases like hiv and zika. When covid19 began to spread, he soon realized this virus was different. From the very early case reports that we were reviewing on january 10th, we thought that this had the potential to cause a pandemic. We discussed the potential need for a vaccine. That evening, after we had all gone home, sitting at our own computers doing email, then the sequence of the Novel Coronavirus was posted online by the chinese researchers. Reporter they realized the sequence was similar to other viruses they fought before. Theres a lot thats the same, and theres some differences. The spike protein was easily identifiable. It was very clear that would be the target of a vaccine. Reporter rarely have so many scientists collaborated to find a vaccine for a single virus. I havent taken a single day off since january 10th. Reporter Johnson Johnson is one of a handful of u. S. Companies chosen by the government for its socalled operation warp speed. But they are only in the early phases of human trials. Pfizer and moderna began latestage human trials just last week. Why did you fall behind a little bit, if youre just coming up with results back from the monkey tests instead of the human tests that are already started with the two other companies . Manufacturing at 26 vectors takes a little more time. But the good news is that once Clinical Trials are under way, the manufacturing, the mass production, can go very quickly. Our hope is to be in a phase three efficacy trial in september of this year. Have there been any kind of effects on the humans that are detectable . So far, so good. Our thanks to bob woodruff for that report. We know the government is under way with operation warp speed and the need to try to get at least 300 million doses of the vaccine to particularly, first, those who need it the most, then the general population possibly by 2021. More than 30 human trials for coronavirus vaccines under way across the world. Coming up, wait, what . And the need to try to get at struggling to clean toughm mr. Clean.
