The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is still a worldwide concern, with little to no sign of a decreasing trend. There is a general consensus that normal life will be hampered until a safe and effective vaccine strategy is available and globally administered. Numerous countries have accelerated the clinical trials process for the development of a successful COVID-19 treatment, with over 200 candidates presently available for testing against SARS-CoV-2. Here, we provide an overview of the COVID-19 vaccine candidates currently in development, discuss the scientific and practical challenges associated with COVID-19 vaccine design, and share the potential strategies that could be exploited for vaccine design success.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行仍是全球关注的问题,几乎没有下降趋势的迹象。人们普遍认为,在有安全有效的疫苗策略并在全球范围内实施之前,正常生活将受到阻碍。许多国家加快了COVID-19成功治疗方法的临床试验进程,目前有200多种候选药物可用于针对SARS-CoV-2的测试。在此,我们概述了目前正在研发的COVID-19候选疫苗,讨论了与COVID-19疫苗设计相关的科学和实际挑战,并分享了可能用于疫苗设计成功的潜在策略。
