Several highly efficacious vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have been developed and are used in the population. However, the current production capacity cannot meet the global demand. Therefore, additional vaccines—especially ones that can be produced locally and at low cost—are urgently needed. This work describes preclinical testing of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate which meets these criteria.
