Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a European expert, Pasi Penttinen, said that the coronavirus vaccine will not be ready until the end of 2021 under “most optimistic of scenarios".
In speaking with Sky News, he said that the process of developing a vaccine is a very complicated and expensive one, saying to ascertain its effectiveness, so many human trials would have to be done.
“On top of that, you need to make sure in this kind of situation of your manufacturing capacity, which essentially is sufficient for the whole world.
"Having a one-and-a-half to two-year timeline to get that done is nothing short of a miracle,” he said.
