Various researches are speeding up all across the world to find the vaccine for the world pandemic COVID 19. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, the scientist of an Italian firm Takis claimed that they have successfully developed the DNA Based COVID 19 vaccine.

The CEO of Takis firm Luigi Aurisicchio told media, “This is the most advanced stage of testing of a candidate vaccine created in Italy. As far as we know, we are among the first in the world to have demonstrated the neutralization of the coronavirus by a vaccine.
