TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — One of Taiwan's COVID-19 DNA-based vaccine candidates has been shown to cause a significant decline in the amount of virus in the lungs of animals being tested.
Taiwan's National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) announced on Monday (Aug. 10) that it has made progress on a gene-based vaccine co-developed with the Taichung-based biotech company Enimmune.

The uninoculated hamsters experienced a loss of weight and vitality. The inoculated hamsters did not.
