The government of Israel has claimed that scientists in the Middle-Eastern country have created a vaccine for coronavirus.
Israeli Defense Minister Nafatli Bennett has claimed that the country’s Defense Biological Institute has made the coronavirus vaccine. The institute has achieved great success in producing antibodies which will battle the coronavirus infection.
He said that the phase of development of coronavirus vaccine is now complete. Now researchers are preparing for its patent and mass production.
The Israeli Institute for Biological Research operates under the supervision of the Israeli PM’s office and Defense Minister Nafatali Bennett made the announcement soon after visiting the facility.
He informed that the antibody attacks the COVID-19 virus in a monoclonal manner and kills it inside the body of sick people.
“The development phase of the coronavirus vaccine is now complete. We are now in the process of patenting its vaccine. In the next phase, researchers will contact international companies for commercial production,” Bennett said.
