Tarlan Mammadov started the works on development of vaccine against COVID-19 approximately 4 months ago together with a team of 20 people.

The scientist said in his statement the new generation vaccination works are being conducted using Nicotiana Benthamiana plant referred to the bloodline of the tobacco plants specially bred in laboratory. He noted that one doze of the vaccine produced by them creates special immunity against COVID-19.
