nick, i do want to talk to you first about this positive news we're hearing from oxford university'sne trials. what are you learning about that? >> reporter: yeah. nice to talk about something that isn't deeply negative, particularly here in the united kingdom. oxford university, who are working at a great pace here to get a vaccine ready along with astrazeneca have positive news. they have several hundred people who they have vaccinated anyway, put the vaccine into, and now they're trying to work through trials and see how effective that is. they hope, they say, to have results by mid june. that, of course, will require further regulation, further testing. the big problem with vaccines is no matter how effective they are, you don't know long term what the impact potential might be. this is a top end university working and a major drug manufacturer saying they will step in to assess the manufacturing capabilities they would have in getting this out in the massive scale required. important, too, the universities say they and the drug company will do this at cost, not for profit, becau

oxford university is also saying it wants to go through safety checks but expressing how confident they. many of these confident are not only doing the research to come up with a vaccine but simultaneously producing some of the material. at oxford for example they're already producing or starting to produce a million doses of this vaccine which sounds like a lot but if you're talking about giving this to potentially billions of people it's not very much, but it is a starter dose, a big starter dose even without approval. so they're hoping that this is going to work, they'll get approval, do the safety testing and have a million doses ready to go on hand which could then be upscaled. so i spoke with -- there are two human trials going on in the united states and i spoke with one of the test candidates, one of the people who had actually taken this vaccine. he is a maintenance engineer and he decided -- he's not a scientist. he's someone who helps keep the lights on and the plumbing running in the lab complex where he works. he put up his hand and he decided i want to take part in this, i

what would normally take years has been done in three months, by scientists at oxford university.ups world wide are developing coronavirus vaccines. a few others, in the us and china, have also started human trials. there's no guarantee any of them will succeed. personally, i am very optimistic it's going to work. formally, we are testing it in an efficacy study. there's absolutely no suggestion we are going to start using this vaccine in a wider population before we have demonstrated it actually works and stops getting people infected with coronavirus. so how does the vaccine work? scientists have taken the genes for the spike protein on the surface of coronavirus, and put them into a harmless virus. this forms the vaccine. after it's injected, the vaccine enters cells, which start to produce the coronavirus spike protein. this prompts the immune system to produce antibodies, and activate killer t—cells which should recognise the coronavirus in future, and destroy it, preventing infection. the scientists will only know how effective the vaccine is if lots of volunteers are expose
