I don't feel like I can answer this but given this question I think you might be interested in this article on the first SARS-CoV-2 vaccine to reach phase 1 trial

hope this helps :)

New papers and research on sars cov 2 vaccines are constantly coming out right now. If you dig around you'll probably find what you're looking for. Let me know if you come to a conclusion - I'm interested in this too! :)
