The vaccine by Moderna Incorporated is the first to be tested in the United States.
Eight people took part in the safety trial, which showed the vaccine was safe.
John Hopkins Center infectious disease expert Dr Amesh Adalja says the findings are significant - but it was a test for safety, not for efficacy.
He says many glitches can occur during testing, but the early data is encouraging.
