BRITAIN’S leading scientist in the hunt to find a coronavirus vaccine has warned that there is only a 50 per cent chance of success.
Any vaccine would allow countries to lift any lockdown restrictions, allow people to return to work and get the economy moving again. “We said earlier in the year that there was an 80 per cent chance of developing an effective vaccine by September.“We’re in the bizarre position of wanting Covid to stay, at least for a little while. But cases are declining."
The results of an earlier trial conducted by the Oxford team are due to be released early next month when 1,000 volunteers took part in a test in April, during the peak of the pandemic.There are four in China, two in the US and one in Germany in addition to the one in Oxford.
