India’s Premas Biotech, Israel’s Oramed jointly develop vaccine for COVID-19

An Indian-Israeli collaboration has reportedly developed an oral vaccine, one that can be swallowed like a pill instead of being injected as is the norm, for COVID-19. A preliminary test in animals showed that the vaccine produced the expected antibodies that confer protection.
However the findings have not been reported in a scientific publication yet and can’t be independently verified. The product is also far from being tested in human trials, though company promoters say depending on how tests pan out, the vaccine candidate could be ready for human trials in the next three months.
