WATCH: Prince William visits Oxford vaccine development

The Duke of Cambridge Prince William on Wednesday visited ongoing efforts to develop a vaccine against the new coronavirus taking place at the UK's University of Oxford. The Oxford Vaccine Group has developed a vaccine against COVID-19 and is currently working on clinical trials to establish whether the vaccine generates immunity in humans. In May, the University of Oxford agreed to a global licensing agreement with AstraZeneca, the UK-based pharmaceutical company, for the commercialisation and manufacturing of the potential vaccine. Prince paid a visit to the Oxford Vaccine Group's facility at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford where the vaccine has been developed and trials are now underway.
