LONDON - One of the creators of a coronavirus vaccine that has been found to be 90% effective is further raising hopes of a return to everyday life by predicting that “we could have a normal winter next year”.
BioNTech co-founder Ugur Sahin told the BBC’s The Andrew Marr Show that “if everything continues to go well”, the aim is to deliver more than 300 million doses worldwide before April, “which could allow us to already start to make an impact”.
However, Sahin cautioned that “this winter will be hard” and that the vaccine “will not have a big impact on the infection numbers” in the immediate future.
