The Institut Pasteur announced on Monday that it was stopping the development of its main vaccine project against Covid-19, because the first tests showed that it was less effective than hoped.
Another French actor, the Sanofi laboratory, announced in December that its vaccine was late and would not be ready until the end of 2021, due to less good results than expected.
French research has therefore fallen behind on the subject, while the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine has been approved since December.
