  • in Washington state today, US researchers tested the first experimental Corona virus vaccine, starting off with a world find hunt for protection even as the pandemic continues to grow.

  • I want to bring in Dr John Brownstein, now chief innovation officer of Boston's Children's Hospital.

  • Dr Brownstein thanks so much for joining us course.

  • So the group tested today has four healthy volunteers will be monitored over a period of time.

  • Can you explain what this process will look like and how those people will be tracked, right?

  • So worth the early phases of this vaccine trial.

  • Right?

  • So Phase one, meaning small group of people are gonna be evaluating for how they react, how well they do, if potentially, there's some efficacy.

  • Also Summerlee information about safety.

  • But we have to remember this is a really small trial, that it will eventually lead to Maur participants.

  • But we're still so early and evaluating this vaccine, it's incredibly exciting.

  • Vaccines are a big backbone of public health, and we should be striving.

  • But again, we're still many months out from having something that we can really deployed to the public.

  • It's still incredibly early.

  • I hear you saying many months out.

  • But if these tests proved to be successful, how soon could the country expect a roll out of the vaccine?

  • So the vaccine that we're looking at is incredibly modern type of vaccine.

  • It's based on our in A.

  • It's not the traditional way of building a vaccine, so we're going as fast as humanly possible.

  • But the problem is that we're still, you know, with phase 23 we're still gonna have to test the efficacy, but also the safety.

  • It's so important that we get this vaccine right, and so that's gonna lead us to probably a year to 18 months before we can really have this vaccine well past especially the first wave of this epidemic as it's unfolding across the country.

  • And we know that states are now taking testing into their own hands.

  • Is there a benefit to spreading out the resource is, or should there just be one overarching test?

  • No, I mean, I think the reality is we need outlaw hands on deck on testing.

  • Of course, there's the commercial labs.

  • There's hospitals.

  • Many people are now deploying tests.

  • We need to have a direct understanding of what's happening in communities across the country so that we can really deploy.

  • The resource is properly.

  • So No, I think the idea is to have a diverse number of groups sort of working towards this as possible.

  • And last question for you.

  • As people start to work from home and continue to wash their hands, what else can people do to try to flatten the curve?

  • Right.

  • So the idea is all about social distancing, right?

  • So limiting your grouping with other people staying at home.

  • Of course, we're gonna depend on those that are recovering, right?

  • So those that actually had the virus and recovered they can play an incredible role.

  • And actually being active members of society is other people are quarantined inside, so we'll have to remember those recovered as well.

  • I mean, the end of the day, we're trying to protect our house systems from getting completely overrun so we can take care of the sickest patients.

  • All right, Dr.

  • John Brownstein.

  • Thank you so much for joining us.

  • We appreciate that.
