Sanofi, GSK Covid vaccine to be ready only at the end of 2021
PARIS, Dec 11, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – France’s Sanofi and Britain’s GSK said
Friday their Covid-19 vaccines will not be ready until the end of 2021, after
interim results showed a low immune response in older adults.
“Sanofi and GSK announce a delay in their adjuvanted recombinant protein-
based COVID-19 vaccine programme to improve immune response in older adults,”
a statement said, adding that the vaccine’s potential availability had been
pushed back “from mid-2021 to Q4 2021”.
