THE SCIENTIST whose team at Oxford University is leading the world in the hunt for a coronavirus vaccine is "optimistic" it will give protection for "several years at least" and may be ready by the autumn.
She said it had been difficult to recruit enough people to test whether the vaccine was working because coronavirus cases in the UK had fallen substantially after the end of March when the country was put in lockdown. She said: "It's something we have to test and follow over time - we can't know until we actually have the data - but we're optimistic based on earlier studies that we will see a good duration of immunity, for several years at least, and probably better than naturally acquired immunity."
"I'm relatively optimistic we will have 'a' vaccine," she said. "But in the near term we may just have to satisfy ourselves with a vaccine that reduces the severity of the disease."
