The Race for Vaccine Continues
À̹®Çü °­³²Æ÷½ºÆ® Çлý±âÀÚ | ½ÂÀÎ 2020.12.06 18:41

Not one but two experimental vaccines proved at least 90% effective against COVID-19 last month: one from Pfizer/BioNTech and another from Moderna. However, it is too early to celebrate. There is still a barrage of questions that needs an answer. Can the vaccine produce better results? How long will the vaccine be effective? How well will they protect the elderly or young? Also what if the virus mutates to become immune?

Already, an altered variation of the coronavirus has appeared in European minks, causing millions of minks to be culled and buried. This brings to the light the possibility of further mutations of the virus, necessitating the need for contingencies.

Since May, US researchers have reported immune responses from T-cells against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, that had previous exposure to different coronaviruses. T-cells can only respond to a virus during infection, not work as prevention; thus, scientists are continuing to search for alternate immune responses that could counter COVID-19, mainly with antibodies.
The current vaccines elicit IgG antibodies in the body, which has a long-lasting response compared to IgA antibodies. IgA antibodies, on the other hand, appear quickly in the body after an infection, and enhancing them could prevent an infection.

Still, having two effective vaccines almost within a year of the outbreak is an incredible feat. People can enjoy a sense of relief for now, as those in need will be able to benefit from the vaccines within months. In the meantime, we must remain vigilant as vaccines work towards not only recovery but also preventing infections as well.
