ENOUGH Spotlight Update 1 - Vaccine for COVID-19

At each ENOUGH - For such a time as this, we have prayed that a vaccine would be found for COVID-19.

As of the 8th July 2020, the latest news on this is that over 200 groups across the world are working on a vaccine, with currently 18 human trials taking place.

Progress and cooperation is happening, which is great news.

  • The first human trial data appears to be positive, with the first 8 patients producing antibodies.

  • A group in China showed a vaccine was safe and led to protective antibodies being made.

  • In Oxford, UK, the first European trial has started in humans and has signed a deal with a pharmaceutical company to produce millions of vaccines if the trial is successful.

Praise God, progress is being made! But there is still much to continue praying for. Let’s continue to pray that:

  • trials show the vaccine is safe.

  • clinical trials show the vaccine provokes an immune response which would protect people from getting sick

  • there is a way of producing the vaccine on a huge scale, so that billions of doses can be made available

  • medicines regulators quickly and safely approve any new vaccine

  • God gives wisdom to governments as they undertake the huge logistical challenge of immunising most of the world's population

‘And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.’

Psalm 9 v 10
