Dr. Fauci tells CNN that he expects to get an answer about whether the vaccine works in November or December
"satisfied" with the enrollment in the first week of the first US Phase 3 clinical trial of a Covid-19 vaccine.
"We hope within a period of a few months, a couple of months, that we'll be able to enroll hopefully by the end of the summer so that we can start getting some results," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said July 27 when he announced the start of the Phase 3 trial.
If the pace of enrollment in the first week of the trial -- 1,290 over five days -- were to continue, the study wouldn't be fully enrolled until late fall or early winter. But Fauci told CNN he expects the enrollment numbers to increase as the study continues. At the July 27 briefing, Fauci said he hoped for much higher enrollment numbers -- but he now says he was joking.
