Place these steps in order of vaccine production.
Federal Drug Administration approves the vaccine as safe.
Mass produce vaccines in factories.
Phase 1 trial with a few people (20-100 adult volunteers) to test for serious side-effects.
Phase 2 trial with more people (1,000 or more) to figure out the dose and make sure it's safe for everyone.
Phase 3 trials on many people (10,000 or more) to test whether it works to prevent Covid.
Designed and tested in a laboratory.
The public can take the vaccine! If enough people take it, we can reach herd immunity
