There are already several dozen of these in clinical trials, with more to come.<br/><br/>In an average month, there are new results from a clinical trial, a new trial gets underway, and there is news on progress in a few other ongoing trials. There are preclinical reports, too—a half a dozen or more—and other important developments, like progress on Covid human challenge studies.<br/><br/>This *Tracker* picks up where my monthly updates at the independent PLOS blog, *Absolutely Maybe*, left off. You can get an idea of what an update looks like in the final [July 2026 update there](<a href="https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2026/07/27/bumper-month-of-clinical-trial-news-to-ring-out-this-vax-series/">https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2026/07/27/bumper-month-of-clinical-trial-news-to-ring-out-this-vax-series/</a> ). Updates for free subscribers at this *Tracker* will be similar. That includes access to the [featured vaccines watchlist](<a href="https://vaxtracker.wordpress.com/featured-vaccines/">https://vaxtracker.wordpress.com/featured-vaccines/</a> )—a set of vaccines in advanced development that are making progress.<br/><br/>This *Tracker* extends that project in several exciting new ways. It is only possible because of reader support, so a big “thank you!” to everyone who is able to help with a paid subscription. As well as enabling the project, you will get access to extra analysis in monthly updates, along with regularly updated overview charts and tracking tracking tables on vaccines in clinical trials, packed with information and analyses.<br/><br/>Having a dedicated website for the project means I can add sections to enhance the information’s usefulness to all users. Check out the new [background reading area](<a href="https://vaxtracker.wordpress.com/background-reading/">https://vaxtracker.wordpress.com/background-reading/</a> ), with links to new explainer pages as well as previous popular posts.<br/><br/>And my online collection of vaccine records—now with over 3,400 entries dating from the start of Covid vaccine development in 2020—remains freely accessible.<br/><br/>Finally, thank you to the community of readers whose enthusiasm for this project have kept me motivated to continue. I hope you like the new and improved *Tracker*! The first full update will land in late August.<br/><br/>*Hilda Bastian*<br/><br/>*July 29, 2026*<br/> <img src="https://vaxtracker.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/happy-vax-frame.jpg?w=224"> <br/> 2026-07-29T10:51:58+02:00
