Pakistani virologist, Dr Muhammad Munir, at the University of Lancaster has been a part of the research team working on the vaccine for coronavirus, since the pandemic broke out. The team's vaccine has been shortlisted by the World Health Organisation.

The vaccine attempts are all drafts of potential cure but none of them have been definitively proved to be the best, says the WHO website. They will still need more clinical trials.
