Israel’s virus vaccine given to 80 people so far; no significant side effects

Israel’s experimental coronavirus vaccine has been administered to some 80 people so far, and no significant side effects have been experienced, Ynet reports.

The vaccine was developed by Israeli Biological Research Institute.

Minor side effects have been documented in several cases, such as a rise in temperature and pain at the injection site, which passed within a few hours.

All test subjects remain under observation. If all goes well, a second phase of trials will begin in several weeks.
