Russian Covid-19 vaccine analysis | is it Truth or Bluff?

As we all knows that News about Russian vaccine is trending everywhere that official News handle of Russia TSS confirms that Russia successfully Complete clinical trials of covid-19 vaccine. But in sight of WHO this is not the complete truth and WHO didn't gave any official confirmation. Like all other potential candidate Russia also in the race to make a Covid-19 vaccine , there many countries like India,USA,China,Britain are also making vaccine of Covid-19. By the a vaccine development may take minimum 7 years to complete like vaccine of HIV - AIDS not developed yet and doctors assume that it will develop by 2030 so if it would be true than it take 50 years to develop , But here situation is different whole world now working on Covid-19 vaccine so it will as much time like other vaccines.Numerous websites claim that Russia completes their clinical trials and they what most of the website had not been claimed that their phase-I trial completed or not. Phase-II trials might be start soon. Main thing is that Russian vaccine clinical trials shows better results than any other vaccine. So its a good news for all of us Covid-19 can be developed within 1-1.5 years, while their is no clarity about phase-III trials.

Now discuss about trials of vaccine. In Pre-clinical trials vaccine tested on animals if it will give best result then we will move on phase-I trials in this vaccine given to some volunteers around 100 people and record their results so on if Phase-II will be successful then vaccine given to larger chunk of people(thousands of people ) then WHO testify vaccine and approved for clinical use. This is very long process while Phase-II is very very important.

There is good news for everyone that USA and China's vaccine entered in Phase-III it means now vaccine will be tested on 30,000 volunteers if it will be successful than it became easy to fight with corona. On 27th July vaccine phase-III trial will start in USA. 

What is the candidate vaccine being developed in Russia?

There is only candidate vaccine developed in Russia which reached the human trial stage. That candidate vaccine developed by the Gamalei National research center for Epidemiology and Microbiology  , in partnership with Russian defence ministry , had began phase-I trials on June 18 with 18 volunteers from armed forces having chosen for administering vaccine.

So now , Will Russian Phase-II and Phase-III trial will succeed or not ? It will not guaranteed that it will succeed or not , it will take couple of months for Phase-II trial so the success can only be ascertained after the completion of Phase-II.It will not confirmed that Russian vaccine entered in Phase-III trial but a emergency vaccine developed by China.

What happen after Phase-III trial?

There are over 150 candidate vaccines for Coronavirus being developed all over the world half of these are still in pre-clinical stage. About 15 vaccines are phase-I trial , 10 are in phase-II trial and only 3 are phase-III trials. Even after the successful completion of phase-III , it usually takes several months before a vaccine is accessible to a general pubic . Several rounds of regulatory and administrative approvals are required. That is why several scientists and even WHO officials have been maintaining that it would be take least 12-18 months before any Coronavirus vaccine is able to hit the market.

So now I think that Russia completely hadn't made a vaccine there are several trials which are remaining to be success , But its a good news that Russian vaccine shows better results initial trials. Another thing is Indian Covid-19 vaccine ( COVAXIN ) enters in Phase-II trials.  According to reports Indian vaccine will available on 15th August. Now let's watch what happen.
