Several countries are working on fast-tracking a COVID-19 vaccine that could prevent the disease from spreading, assuming the virus doesn’t mutate by the time a vaccine is ready. However, the vaccine won’t be available until next year, according to most estimates, as these new drugs will have to go through the same regulatory hurdles as any other type of vaccine, no matter how dire the situation might be.
Trials and studies will need to be conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and safety of the vaccines before they become available to the general public. In other words, hang up immediately if anybody calls you promising immediate access to a COVID-19 vaccine.
