Vaxart says potential Covid-19 vaccine picked for 'Operation Warp Speed'

Vaxart Inc said on Friday it would test its potential Covid-19 vaccine on monkeys in a study organized by the Trump Administration's vaccine-acceleration program called "Operation Warp Speed". The study aims to provide safe and effective vaccines by January 2021. Vaxart said the vaccine is an oral tablet and is easier to store and administer than injectable ones.
