Uganda will soon begin human trials of a Covid-19 vaccine called Self Replicating RNA, which it has developed through a partnership between Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) and Imperial College in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Daily Monitor newspaper with reports quoting ministry of health officials on Monday said that the trials will begin in November, with the head of a presidential task force on epidemics, Monica Musenero, quoted as saying that the first trial will be conducted on 10 Ugandans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf successful, a second trial will involve about 100 to 200 people followed by a final trial of between 1,000 and 3,000 people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bulk of the project is being financed by the UK University,\u201d Monica added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
