MedicineVaccines
Quick Answer
The first SARS vaccine candidates were tested in humans in the mid-2000s, after the 2002–2004 outbreak. They never reached widespread use because SARS disappeared from circulation.
The Full Story
After the SARS outbreak that began in 2002, researchers rapidly developed vaccine candidates and moved several into early human trials by the mid-2000s. SARS, caused by SARS-CoV, was contained globally and no longer spread widely after 2004. That meant the vaccines were not needed for routine use, even though the research helped prepare scientists for later coronavirus vaccine development. The work became important background for COVID-19 vaccine science.
