The University of Oxford said it would continue clinical trials of the vaccine after a volunteer who participated in the trials died.
On Wednesday, Brazilian health authorities confirmed the death of a volunteer undergoing university clinical trials.
The university explained that it conducted an independent evaluation of what happened, and found no existing concerns about the possible vaccine against the infection that causes the Covid 19 disease, especially since the patient was not taking the actual dose of the vaccine, but a fake.
The university reported, through a spokesperson, that "After a precise evaluation of the case of Brazil. There were no concerns about the safety of clinical trials.".
Consequently, Brazilian health and university authorities have urged continued clinical trials of the potential Corona vaccine.

The vaccine underwent strict testing and analysis by scientists at the University of Bristol, and the vaccine elicited a strong immune response, and the analysis concluded that the vaccine provides greater assurance that it works exactly as scheduled.
David Matthews, professor of virology at Bristol School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, who led the research, said: “This is an important study because we can confirm that the genetic instructions on which this vaccine is based, that are being developed as quickly as safely possible, they are being followed correctly. ” .
Matthews added that until recently, “technology could not provide answers so clearly, but now we know that the vaccine does everything we expected, and this is good news in our battle against the disease.”
The researchers focused the study on the precision of the vaccine and the use of genetic instructions, according to the British Mirror newspaper.
These instructions explain in detail how to make a spike protein from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the Covid-19 epidemic, and this means that when a vaccinated person comes across the vaccine, their immune system is previously trained and ready to attack her.
“This is a great example of interdisciplinary collaboration, using new technology to examine what exactly a vaccine does when it enters a human cell,” said Sarah Gilbert, a professor of vaccination at the University of Oxford and leader of the Oxford vaccine trial.
