COVID-19 Vaccine May Be Ready In A Year: EU Agency
A vaccine for the novel coronavirus could be ready in a year’s time under an “optimistic” scenario, based on trials that are underway, the European Medicines Agency said Thursday.
“These are just forecasts based on what we are seeing. But again I have to stress that this is a best-case scenario, we know not all vaccines that come into development may make it to authorisation, and may disappear,” he added.The EMA approves medicines for the 27-nation European Union. “We would be happy to be proved wrong, but we are basing that on our experience” of how long it takes to test and approve vaccines, he said.Work on treatments for patients who have already caught coronavirus were “more advanced and are already being tested”, Cavaleri added.
