Australia Halts COVID-19 Vaccine Development Due To False HIV Positives
[HealthSite.com] If the vaccine was rolled out nationally, CSL said it could undermine public health in Australia by causing a wave of false positive HIV tests in the community.
The clinical trials of a coronavirus vaccine candidate being developed in Australia have been scrapped after trial participants returned false-positive test results for HIV.
According to the reports, relevant parties announced that despite eliciting an effective virus response and strong safety profile, a deal for the Australian government to purchase over 50 million doses of the vaccine had been canceled, reports Xinhua news agency.
