A Vaccine Against Zika May Be Just Around the Corner

    There could soon be a new weapon in the fight against the Zika virus.

    FOX’s Dave Anthony reports:

    A Zika virus vaccine�is being developed,�and the FDA�has given the okay for Inovio Pharmaceuticals to start testing it on people.

    That company and it’s partner Gene One Life Science created the vaccine�to resemble Zika�in the body and testing already done in animals�found it developed antibodies and other cells�that attack the virus�which is most dangerous to pregnant women�blamed for birth defects.

    Mostly in Brazil and other countries�but there are three cases of babies affected in the U.S.�The hope is to test the Zika vaccine�in the coming weeks�on 40 people to determine the safest dose.
