There is a possibility that the COVID-19 vaccine will be available by the end of the year, the World Health Organization said.



"There is hope that we may have a vaccine by the end of this year" at the closing ceremony of the special meeting of the COVID-19-related member states, which was held for two days from yesterday (6th), the Secretary General of the World Health Organization.



"The most important vehicle for vaccines under development is the political dedication of the leaders to the fair distribution of the vaccine," said Mr. Regiersusus.



However, he did not give a specific background, stating that the vaccine could be available by the end of this year.



Currently, around 10 vaccine candidates worldwide have entered the phase 3 clinical phase, and experts have been expecting a vaccine with efficacy as early as the end of this year.
