Vaccine development against SARS-CoV-2 has drawn attention around the globe due to the exploding pandemic. Although COVID-19 is caused by a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, previous research on other coronavirus vaccines, such as FIPV, SARS, and MERS, has provided valuable information for the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccine. However, important knowledge gaps remain - some are specific to SARS-CoV-2, others are fundamental to immunology and vaccinology. Here, we discuss areas that need to be addressed for COVID-19 vaccine development, and what can be learned from examples of vaccine development in the past. Since the beginning of the outbreak, the research progress on COVID-19 has been remarkable. We are therefore optimistic about the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccine.
由于 COVID-19 疫情的爆发,针对 SARS-CoV-2 的疫苗开发引起了全球关注。虽然 COVID-19 是由一种新型冠状病毒 SARS-CoV-2 引起的,但之前针对其他冠状病毒疫苗的研究,如 FIPV、SARS 和 MERS,为 COVID-19 疫苗的快速开发提供了有价值的信息。然而,仍存在重要的知识空白,有些是 SARS-CoV-2 特有的,有些则是免疫学和疫苗学的基础。在这里,我们讨论了 COVID-19 疫苗开发需要解决的领域,以及可以从过去的疫苗开发示例中学到什么。自疫情爆发以来,COVID-19 的研究进展显著。因此,我们对 COVID-19 疫苗的快速开发持乐观态度。
