Dr. Fauci Says We’ll Have 100 Million Vaccines by end of this Year

According to the CDC, over 6.3 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with the coronavirus COVID-19, the new respiratory virus. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding the scope of their nations’ outbreaks.

With that said, the world, including pharmaceutical companies and businesses, are scrambling to create a vaccine. Currently, vaccines in development around the world are in various stages of testing.

“And by the beginning of 2021, we hope to have a couple of hundred million doses,” he added. “So it isn’t as if we’re going to make the vaccine show its effective and then have to wait a year to rev up to millions and millions of doses. That’s going to be done as we’re testing the vaccine.”
