September 27, 2020 "I am cautiously optimistic that we will have a safe and effective vaccine for the US and the rest of the world, including Italy, around the beginning of 2021".
This was stated by the American immunologist Anthony Fauci at 'Che tempo che fa' on Rai3, recalling that in the USA 4 of the 6 vaccines tested are in phase 3 of the experimentation, an advanced phase.
Fauci said that "it is not possible to give a definitive answer" at this time to the question of when the vaccine will be available. But he explained that in the United States alone "there are 6 vaccines tested for safety and efficacy and 4 of these are already in phase 3, the advanced phase. And given the huge number of people covered by this clinical study, we will be able to know the probability of effectiveness by November-December ".
At the same time Fauci added that we must continue to "obey health measures even when we have the vaccine".
