The Oxford University in England is apparently leaping ahead of the pack in the global race to find a vaccine to Covid-19, the disease caused by a new coronavirus strain that has so far killed over 219,200 people around the world.<br /><br />With human testing underway since April 23, scientists at the university have now said they are hopeful that a Covid-19 vaccine will be widely available by September, according to various media reports.<br /><br />They said the scientists got a head start because of the technology they had developed in previous work on inoculations for other viruses, including one last year against a close relative of the novel coronavirus.<br /><br />Sarah Gilbert, a professor of vaccinology at the university, told cbsnews.com: "Well personally, I have a high degree of confidence about this vaccine, because it's technology that I've used before."
