WHO does not expect widespread coronavirus vaccines until mid-2021 | TheHill
The global health organization stressed the importance of reliable and transparent data from studies.
The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn’t expect a COVID-19 vaccine to be widely available until mid-2021, according to Reuters.
Despite dozens of vaccine candidates entering various levels of clinical trials, Margaret Harris, a spokesperson from the WHO, said that none of the vaccine hopefuls have shown a “clear signal” of efficacy by at least 50 percent, the threshold expected by the WHO.
“We are really not expecting to see widespread vaccination until the middle of next year,” Harris reportedly said during a U.N. meeting in Geneva.

Even greater reason for most to pass on Nov vaccine introduction here. 'Wait until next year when there is no political pressure & they have a better feel for the 50+% efficacy & safety target.'
