A coronavirus vaccine could be available for the general public by September, a University of Oxford professor has said.
Sarah Gilbert, a professor of vaccinology at Oxford University, is leading a team of researchers in the development of a vaccine that would protect the world against Covid-19.
In an interview with The Times, the professor said that she and her team have already created a potential vaccine that is due to begin human trials within two weeks.
She told the paper she is “80%” confident of its success, “based on other things that we have done with this type of vaccine”.
