Mysore/Mysuru: Dozens of research groups around the world are racing to create a vaccine as COVID-19 cases continue to grow. They are pursuing different types of vaccines — shots developed from new technologies that are faster to produce but might prove more potent than the traditional inoculations.
Some researchers are even aiming for temporary vaccines, such as shots that might guard people’s health a month or two at a time while long-lasting protection is developed. Among the groups that are racing against time to come up with the vaccine is the European Task Force for Coronavirus that has a Mysuru connection. A Researcher-Scientist in the team is Dr. A.J. Mahadesh Prasad, who studied in the University of Mysore and has worked here as an Assistant Professor.
