coronavirus vaccine may have gathered enough safety and efficacy data by the end of the year, according to Professor Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group.
He said it is "just possible" that there may be enough clinical trial data on Oxford University’s Covid-19 vaccine to put before regulators this year.His optimistic comments come after England's chief medical officer, Professor Chris Whitty, said a vaccine for coronavirus may not be ready until next winter.Prof Pollard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think that Chris Whitty is quite rightly being cautious, that it could take as long as that to first of all demonstrate a vaccine works and is safe and then to go through the processes of regulators looking at that very.
