description COVID-19, which was first detected in the Hubei province of China, has become a global phenomenon. The effects and devastation on both health and economy have been global. At present, there is a substantial amount of research being done to discover suitable treatment modalities. Efforts have been made on the development of potential efficacious vaccines. The development of a vaccine can be complex, expensive as well as time-consuming. Currently, various ongoing clinical trials are in progress that are investigating either pharmacologic therapies or vaccines against this virus. We, in this brief review have tried to address the process and current development efforts of vaccine in progress.
