Coronavirus: WHO encouraged by AstraZeneca vaccine results, but needs further analysis

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan with the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday said they were encouraged by the results presented by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford in their late-stage vaccine trial, given recent announcements also by Pfizer and Moderna. She said the good news to take from the announcement was that vaccines for COVID-19 are possible to make and it’s possible they’ll have a number of viable vaccines to use.
