A keenly-watched COVID-19 vaccine has undergone successful trials in six monkeys according to Oxford University who conducted the study. 

Preliminary data from a small trial of the experimental vaccine in six monkeys found that some of the animals given a single shot developed antibodies against the virus within 14 days, and all developed protective antibodies within 28 days.
