GENEVA: Dr Mike Ryan, Emergencies Program Head, World Health Organization (WHO), said on Wednesday, July 22, that researchers are making “good progress” in developing vaccines against COVID-19 with a few late-stage trials. However, their first use cannot be anticipated until early 2021. He added that the WHO is working to ensure fair distribution of the vaccine, but in the meanwhile, it is important to suppress the spread of virus as cases of new COVID-19 infections are setting new records globally.
Dr Ryan said that they are progressing as a few vaccines are in the phase 3 trials and in terms of safety or ability to produce an immune response, none of them have failed yet. He further added that it is going to be the first part of next year before we start seeing people getting vaccinated and the WHO focused on expanding access to potential vaccines and helping to scale-up production efficiency.
Vaccines for the coronavirus pandemic is not only for those who are wealthy or poor, but they are for everybody, Dr Ryan said.
