Coronavirus vaccine can be expected by early 2021, not before, says "cautiously positive" Dr Anthony Fauci

One of the prime candidates involved in the global vaccine race is US-based Moderna Inc., which is overseeing phase III study and trials of its prototype, mRNA-1273. US authorities have also launched 'Operation WarpSpeed' to facilitate and accelerate the production of a vaccine and speed up the regulatory process.

Fauci's comments came in the backdrop of United Nations Academic Impact '75 for UN75: 75 Minutes of Conversation' event, where he talked about the rampant rise in the rate of infections globally, particularly in the United States, which is now the worst affected countries globally.
