English to Spanish: Coronavirus vaccine: When will we have one? / La vacuna contra el Coronavirus: ¿Cuándo tendremos una? General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Coronavirus still poses a significant threat, but there are no vaccines proven to protect the body against the disease it causes - Covid-19.
Medical researchers are working hard to change that, and the UK government has ordered 100 million doses of a vaccine that isable to trigger an immune response and appears safe.
Why is a coronavirus vaccine important?
The virus spreads easily and the majority of the world's population is still vulnerable to it. A vaccine would provide some protection by training people's immune systems to fight the virus so they should not become sick.
This would allow lockdowns to be lifted more safely, and social distancing to be relaxed.
What sort of progress is being made?
Research is happening at breakneck speed. About 140 are in early development, and around two dozen are now being tested on people in clinical trials.
• Trials of the vaccine developed by Oxford University show it can trigger an immune response and a deal has been signed with AstraZeneca to supply 100 million doses in the UK alone.
• The first human trial data back in May indicated the first eight patients taking part in a US study all produced antibodies that could neutralise the virus.
• A group in China showed a vaccine was safe and led to protective antibodies being made. It is being made available to the Chinese military.
• Other completely new approaches to vaccine development are in human trials.
However, no-one knows how effective any of these vaccines will be.
Translation - Spanish El Coronavirus todavía representa una amenaza significativa, pero no hay vacunas probadas que protejan al cuerpo contra la enfermedad que causa: la COVID-19.
Los investigadores médicos están trabajando duro para cambiar esto y el gobierno del Reino Unido ha ordenado 100 millones de dosis de una vacuna que es capaz de desencadenar una respuesta inmunológica y parece segura.
¿Por qué es importante una vacuna contra el coronavirus?
El virus se propaga fácilmente y la mayoría de la población mundial sigue siendo vulnerable a él. Una vacuna proporcionaría cierta protección al entrenar el sistema inmunológico de las personas para luchar contra el virus, de modo que no deberían enfermarse.
Esto permitiría levantar las cuarentenas de forma más segura y relajar el distanciamiento social.
¿Qué tipo de progreso se está haciendo?
La investigación se está llevando a cabo a una velocidad vertiginosa. Unas 140 vacunas están en desarrollo temprano y alrededor de dos docenas se están probando en personas a través de ensayos clínicos.
• Los ensayos de la vacuna desarrollada por la Universidad de Oxford muestran que puede desencadenar una respuesta inmunológica y se ha firmado un acuerdo con AstraZeneca para suministrar 100 millones de dosis sólo en el Reino Unido.
• Los primeros datos de los ensayos en seres humanos en mayo indicaron que los primeros ocho pacientes que participaron en un estudio en EE.UU. produjeron anticuerpos que podrían neutralizar el virus.
• Un grupo en China demostró que una vacuna era segura y llevó a la producción de anticuerpos protectores. Se está poniendo a disposición del ejército chino.
• Otros enfoques completamente nuevos para el desarrollo de la vacuna están en ensayos humanos.
Sin embargo, nadie sabe cuán efectiva será ninguna de estas vacunas.

Bio
Born in Córdoba, Argentina. I studied the English
language for almost 14 years. Since I was seven years old, I knew I would be an
English translator.
I have professional translation experience in the
literary, technical, and scientific fields. I look forward to working for
international translation agencies as a freelance professional translator, editor/proofreader, and copywriter as well. Furthermore, I work in the marketing, medicine/pharmaceutics, and HR/Education fields.
I worked as an administrative assistant and secretary for a tourism wholesale operator as well for two years and 3 months, agency to which I also provided with my translation services. So
I have knowledge of the hotel and tourism industry too.
Apart from that, I have knowledge of music, since I am really into
it. Likewise, I love singing and dancing.
