In Turkey, Erciyes University is developing a vaccine, with the first phase of clinical trials nearing completion. The university rector noted the project is showing “regular and stable progress” as they coordinate with the Turkish Ministry of Health to address seasonal infection threats.

Complementary research is also exploring the use of antibody therapy to combat the virus.
