Texas-based company claims to have completed coronavirus vaccine

A genetic engineering company based in Houston claims to have finished developing a vaccine for the deadly coronavirus.

The Houston Business Journal reports scientists at Greffex Inc. completed a vaccine this week, according to the company’s president and CEO John Price.

The report says the vaccine will move to animal testing with the Food and Drug Administration. Countries like China and Vietnam have their own agencies to carry out their testing regulations.

Price told the Houston Business Journal that Greffex did not use a living or killed virus for its vaccine. Greffex’s treatments reportedly use adenovirus-based vector vaccines, which are widely used against various infectious diseases or cancers.
