Another vaccine plus booster technique, successful with monkeys, is being tested on human volunteers. It was developed jointly by NIH (U. S.) and the Swiss Okairos, a biotech company owned by British GSK.
Like the Canadian vaccine test, it is being used in varying concentrations on 20 volunteers.
These are first phase tests.
A third vaccine, Johnson & Johnson, is moving towards tests in early 2015.
