Wave of hope in the UAE as phase III human trials start on a positive note

 There is finally some motivation for those fighting coronavirus as the phase III trials for the United Arab Emirates’s vaccine for the virus has started. The trials of the vaccine, originally made in China, had started last month and since then 15,000 volunteers have registered themselves for the human trials that are needed before the vaccine opens for the market.

For the first time in four to five months, people are expecting a treatment for the novel coronavirus. Their anticipation for the vaccine, which can be the possible fight mechanism for Covid-19, is undeniable. A facility has been sent up in the UAE where the trials are being conducted and the ‘Inactivated’ vaccine can be seen in different packages visible to the public as kept on display.

With 15,000 volunteers, the trials are attracting a lot of people who want to selflessly be a part of this whole journey. The world’s first phase III vaccine trials reached a major milestone when the testings completed being injected to over 5,000 people in the Emirati nation. The trials are currently being managed by  G42 Healthcare in partnership with the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap) and Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha) while it is developed by Sinopharm, one of the largest vaccine manufacturers.

The selfless act of humanity of volunteering for the trials of the vaccine are being applauded by everyone but more than that it is something that makes oneself feel good about themselves as they contribute to a larger cause by their role. The people who are volunteering very well know that being a part of these trials and especially if the vaccine becomes a success story then they will be a part of history. One of such volunteers thinks that it had been four months that he had felt useful about himself but now he does. This being just an example, there are many more who are looking forward to contributing for the cause.

Even though there is a long way to go before this vaccine is made available to the world, the results are positive. People can already be seen doing what was earlier advised--no panic. They are taking a sigh of relief and are hoping for the positive outcomes. For those who could not contribute as volunteers need not be upset, they can always talk to the people who have volunteered. This is one of the important ways they can help. It was suggested by the health experts that communication with people who have taken the test is necessary. They should share their experience and the other end can be the one who’s hopes are restored.

Everyone can be a part of this development provided they identify with their roles. Now people can be patient and hopefully hear a positive development in the matters concerning the Covid-19 vaccine.
