Mike Ryan, a World Health Organisation (WHO) expert, has said that while researchers are making ?good progress in developing vaccines against coronavirus, their first use cannot be expected until early 2021.

We’re making good progress, said Ryan while noting that several vaccines are now in phase 3 trials and none have failed, so far, in terms of safety or ability to generate an immune response. Ryan added, Realistically it is going to be the first part of next year before we start seeing people getting vaccinated.”

Ryan said that even as WHO is working to ensure fair vaccine distribution when it is finally developed, it is necessary to contain the spread of the virus in the meantime. He added, We need to be fair about this, because this is a global good. Vaccines for this pandemic are not for the wealthy, they are not for the poor, they are for everybody.
