The researchers noticed T-cells' formation, an essential component of the immune system, in 28 days. They also found that the immunity created by the Vaccine was similar to the immunity that people had after recovering naturally from the corona.Scientists who were not involved in the study said, "Though the current study results are positive, we cannot confirm it until the third phase, which will be tested on a large number of humans to know it actually prevent coronavirus or not."
