Anthony Fawcci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he did not expect to have effective vaccines against Corona before next fall, while the World Health Organization indicated that America had not taken its warnings seriously.
In a statement before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Retirement Committee session, Fauchi said that eight vaccines are currently being worked on.
He added that knowing how successful the vaccines tested will be possible in late fall or early winter.
Fauchi indicated that he does not see an opportunity for students to return to their schools during this semester, despite attempts to expedite the arrival of a vaccine.
He called for caution in saying that children are immune, in light of the emergence of a rare disease linked to corona.
He stressed that they began to notice what had not been shown by studies in China or Europe, the emergence of rare inflammation in infected children.
He said that the number of deaths in New York may be higher than announced due to the death of a number of people in their homes when the spread of the disease was at its peak.
