Dr Anthony Fauci tells Reuters that he thinks a coronavirus vaccine will be available next year. “We are likely going to have maybe tens of million of doses in the early part of [next] year.

I hope and feel it’s possible that by the time we get through 2021 and go around for another cycle, that we’ll have this under control. Do I think we’re going to have a much, much better control one full year from this winter? I think so.”
