Don't expect to get enough vaccines before 2022 to return to normal life. Soumya Swaminatham, chief scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO), said on Tuesday that the idea of a successful and effective vaccine not reaching the market was "sudden".
Swaminatham said the CoVAX initiative, led by the WHO to provide equal distribution of vaccines to different countries, could supply tens of millions of vaccines by the middle of next year; Through this, 180 countries may get some number of vaccine doses.
By the end of 2022, the production of this vaccine may reach 200 crores. Prior to this, all countries will receive small doses of vaccine; With which it is possible to meet the small part of the demand. So the situation is not likely to return to normal if people continue to follow social distance rules and not wear masks.
Soumya Swaminatham said, ‘Maybe many people think that the vaccine will be available in the market by January next year and then everything will be normal again. But it won’t be what you think it is. Because to ensure safe movement of people, vaccines must reach everyone. And it will not be possible before 2022. '
"Our best assessment of the vaccine is that it may come in mid-2021," said the chief scientist at the UN Health Organization. Because at the beginning of 2021, you will know the results of some possible vaccine trials. Then the main activities will start. '
However, China has announced that it will soon release the vaccine. Wu Guizhen of China's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday that the locally made vaccine would be delivered to China by November or December this year. US President Donald Trump has announced that he will bring a vaccine soon.
