'Life back to normal by spring after vaccine discovery', expert says

preview

A medicine expert has claimed Brits can look forward to a return to normal life ‘by spring’, after a major vaccine breakthrough.In comments that will come as a massive relief amid the coronavirus crisis, Sir John&nbsp;Bell said that other vaccines were now likely to become available in the near future.‘I am really delighted with this result – it shows that you can make a vaccine against this little critter. 90% is an amazing level of efficacy,’ he told BBC Radio 4’s The World at One.Asked if people could look forward to a return to normal life by the spring, Sir John, who advises the government, replied: ‘Yes, yes, yes. I am probably the first guy to say that but I will say that with some confidence.’It comes after trials showed – with 10 million doses set to become available for the UK by the end of the year.Sir John, a Regius professor of medicine at Oxford University and a member of the Government’s vaccine taskforce, said the success of the latest coronavirus vaccine trials by Pfizer and BioNTech could pave the way for the rollout of a least one vaccine in the UK early in the new year.He added: ‘It rolls the pitch for other vaccines because I can’t see any reason now why we shouldn’t have a handful of good vaccines.’Prior to today, there has long been caution from experts about the chances of coronavirus curbs being loosened in the near future. But various other scientists have also hailed the news, including England’s Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty.Sorry, this video isn't available any more.Sir John did warn that organising the distribution of the vaccine would be ‘challenging’.But, he explained: ‘They will obviously start in the US – that’s probably appropriate. BioNTech is a German company so there will be, I am sure, doses made available for Europe.‘The UK has done a pre-approval agreement to purchase up 30 million doses of this vaccine, so we are very well prepared to get access to this vaccine when it becomes available.‘The manufacturing challenges are not small, so people need be ready to wait a bit to get it.’Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.For more stories like this, .Not convinced?Get us in your feed

The Metro is the United Kingdom's highest-circulation, print newspaper. It is published in tabloid format by DMG Media. The free newspaper is distributed from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays and the period between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day inclusive) mornings on trains and buses, and at railway/Underground stations, airports and hospitals across selected urban areas of England, Wales and Scotland. Copies are also handed out to pedestrians. Metro is owned by Daily Mail and General Trust plc (DMGT), part of the same media group as the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, but in some areas Metro operates as a franchise with a local newspaper publisher, rather than as a wholly owned concern.
