Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday that he is hopeful that a safe and effective vaccine for the novel coronavirus will be identified by this winter, MarketWatch reports. However, identifying it is just one step in a series of steps that must be completed before the vaccine starts being injected into patients.
Speaking during a discussion sponsored by the Economic Club of Washington, Fauci, who has become the public face of the federal government’s battle with the COVID-19 pandemic, told his listeners that by winter, at the very least the identification stage of the vaccine’s development may have been completed.
“Hopefully by the time we get to this coming winter, we will know whether or not we have a safe and effective vaccine,” he said.
