In order to halt the spread of coronavirus completely, a vaccine would need to produce antibodies that stop the virus from replicating. „To prevent asymptomatic infection and transmission, you need what‘s called sterilizing immunity,“ Greg Poland, MD, director of the Mayo Clinic‘s Vaccine Research Group, explained to USA Today. While it‘s possible that one or more of the vaccines could produce sterilizing immunity, it currently remains unproven.
