U.S. researchers at the Center for Pharmaceutical Research have opened another safety test of an experimental Covid-19 vaccine and this one uses a skin-deep shot instead of the usual deeper jab. The vaccine has been developed by biotechnology company&nbsp;Inovio Pharmaceuticals. The experiment will test two doses in 40 healthy volunteers at the Kansas City research lab and the University of Pennsylvania. Researchers packaged a section of the virus' genetic code inside a piece of synthetic DNA. Injected as a vaccine, the cells act as a mini-factory to produce harmless protein copies and the immune system makes protective antibodies against them.&nbsp;Even if the research goes well, it is expected to take over a year before the vaccine could be widely available.

However, it&rsquo;s not clear if this higher number applies only to the cases in China or if it will be similar in other countries.
