Covid-19 vaccine research registry and development of Covid-19 Vaccine

Background of Covid-19 vaccine research registry:

The NHS covid-19 vaccine research registry was aimed to help UK residents to get all the updates about the Covid-19 updates. The registry was aimed to recruit about 500,000 volunteers in order to speed up the process of vaccine development.

However, on one side covid-19 vaccine research registry helped people to get the latest updates on the progress of vaccines, on the other hand, the fast development of the Covid-19 vaccine raised many concerns among people regarding its safety. Billions of people around the world have been affected by Covid-19 and millions have died. It’s very important for the general public to understand the reasons for the fast development of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Normally, vaccine development is a lengthy process. It can take years because of the complex process involved such as arrangments of funds, ethical approval, large-scale manufacturing, and most importantly recruiting volunteers. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the whole process was fast-paced which made it possible for the development of vaccines so fast.

Everyone including government agencies, authorities, manufacturing companies, funding organizations, has played their role in the fast development of the vaccine. All forces cooperated and coordinated with each other during this whole process. Now we will look at the most important factors that made the development of vaccine possible:

Funding:

Without funding nothing is possible. In the case of a pandemic, this factor becomes critical as many financial organizations are struggling to keep their business running. However, to tackle pandemics, scientists need funds to do research. However, during this pandemic government and funding bodies worked together to provide finance easily.

Manufacturing:

The vaccine needs successful clinical trials before it is available publicly. During Covid-19 it was very important for the large-scale production to control it quickly. Due to the hard work and commitment of the researchers, they were doing production and clinical trials parallel to save time.

Volunteers:

About 10,000 volunteers took part in clinical trials. So finding volunteers during this pandemic has never been an issue as people participated eagerly to save the lives of millions.

In the end, we cannot ignore the role of doctors, scientists, ethical approval boards, and manufacturers who worked together and worked very hard to expedite this process. All parties have followed regulatory processes during all this process and have never compromised on the safety of the vaccine. They followed all safety procedures during clinical trials of the vaccine. Without testing the vaccine, It is not possible to make it publicly available. After successful clinical trials, then doctors try vaccines on patients.
