The European Medicines Agency of the European Union has decided, on Tuesday, the expected time frame for the first vaccine for the new Coronavirus to be ready and available in sufficient quantities."It is estimated that it will take at least one year before the vaccine against COVID-19 becomes ready for approval and is available in quantities sufficient for widespread use," the European Agency said in a statement.
She added that this depends on the current information available and previous experience of developing vaccines.
With more than 88,000 HIV infections recorded globally, according to an AFP count, the race continues to develop a vaccine against the virus that emerged in China late last year.
