WASHINGTON -- Three potential Covid-19 vaccines are making fast progress in early-stage testing in volunteers in China and the US, but it’s still a long road to prove if they'll really work.
NIH infectious disease chief Dr. Anthony Fauci told The Associated Press there are “no red flags” so far and he hoped the next, larger phase of testing could begin around June. But moving into the second phase is a critical step that allows vaccines to be tested in many more people to look for signs that they protect against infection.
“Please let me say this caveat: That is assuming that it’s effective. See, that’s the big ‘if,’” Fauci stressed. "It’s got to be effective and it’s got to be safe.”
