If trials are successful, SK Bioscience’s Covid-19 vaccine will contribute to a global aim of manufacturing 1 billion doses of second-generation vaccines by the end of next year, according to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, a global group that is working to accelerate the development of vaccines.
