Here in the uk, scientists at Oxford University say, the vaccine theyre developing appears to be safe and triggers an immune response. But its not clear if that will be enough to protect from the virus, and it wasnt tested on older people, a particularly vulnerable group. The uk government has already ordered 100 million doses of the vaccine. The trials, which involved just over 1,000 people, showed them making antibodies and white blood cells that can fight the virus.
