Research published in The Lancet medical journal Monday showed good early results for two vaccines in the U.K. and China. The U.K. vaccine, coming out of the University of Oxford, stimulated an immune system response that built up both antibodies and T-cells, a sign of a strong vaccine candidate. Now, researchers need to determine just how effective their vaccines could be. Meanwhile, Russia is touting its own research amid allegations it's hacking other groups working toward an immunization.
