The Army is gunning for COVID, but it's also aiming much higher with its SpFN vaccine.

The Army's COVID vaccine entered clinical human trials in March 2021.

That dream of a universal vaccine is exactly what researchers at the US Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) have been working on for most of the past year.  In December, the US Army announced that its pan-coronavirus vaccine, the spike ferritin nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine (aka SpFN) had completed Phase 1 of human trials with positive results. .

We'll share what we know about the Army's COVID-19 vaccine, including how it works and when it could become available.

But Army scientists designed their vaccine to be "pan-coronavirus," meaning it could protect against future strains of COVID as well as other coronaviruses.

SpFN successfully completed animal testing and wrapped Phase 1 of human trials in December, but it must still complete Phases 2 and 3 of human testing, when its safety and efficacy is compared to current vaccine options. .
