Human trials have begun for a COVID-19 vaccine at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, it has been announced this morning.

The trials, the first in the southern hemisphere, will test a vaccine developed by US biotech company Novavax.

“Administering our vaccine in the first participants of this clinical trial is a significant achievement, bringing us one step closer toward addressing the fundamental need for a vaccine in the fight against the global Covid-19 pandemic,” Stanley C. Erck, Novavax CEO and president said in a statement to Forbes.

Roughly 131 people aged 18 to 59 will take part in the trial.

Results are expected in July 2020.

The vaccine is one of over 100 vaccines currently being developed across the world.
