Oxford University expert claims to develop coronavirus vaccine

LONDON (92 News) – Oxford University expert leading research team has claimed to develop coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. According to the British media, the Oxford University expert said that coronavirus vaccine could be ready by September with an 80% likelihood it will work. A coronavirus vaccine could be ready by September. Sarah Gilbert, an Oxford University professor currently leading Britain's most advanced search for a vaccine, said she was '80 per cent confident' her team's development would work by autumn. Last month she was hopeful it could be developed by the end of 2020, but has now confirmed the most optimistic scenario after human trials look set to begin in the next fortnight. The government has previously indicated it would fund the manufacture of millions of vaccine doses that looked promising in advance, allowing immediate availability to the public once developed. Despite previous warnings a vaccine could take 18 months to produce, Professor Gilbert said the most bullish scenario for a working product was September 'if everything goes perfectly'.
