David Reich, a graduate student in immunology, was the first person to be injected during a study at the University of Maryland in May. Then the American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and the German company BioNTech worked together to create a vaccine.

Now, early studies show that the vaccine works, it stimulates the production of antibodies at a rate equal to or greater than those who have had the disease.

"It's a relief to see that it actually works: the vaccine stimulates antibody production," Rach said.

Rach isn't sure if he was given the real vaccine or a placebo saline solution. But when he had a slight reaction after the second dose, he became convinced he was one of the few people in the world vaccinated against COVID-19.

He should be tested in October to determine if he appears to be immune to the virus.

If the trial is successful, Pfizer says it will produce 100 million doses by the end of the year and more than a billion next year.
