There is no guarantee of a Covid-19 vaccine, Boris Johnson said at this evening’s press conference, though he said the UK is at the heavily involved in the work to develop one.
I’m hearing some very encouraging things from what’s going on at Oxford to achieve a vaccine [but] this is by no means guaranteed. I believe I’m right in saying that, even after 18 years we still don’t have a vaccine for Sars. What I can tell you is that the UK is at the forefront of concerting international activity to try to deliver a vaccine.
He said the UK government is putting “huge sums” into finding a vaccine, but added:
If you ask me am I absolutely certain that we won’t be living with this for a long time to come, I can’t say that. It may be that we have to become ever more flexible, ever more agile, ever smarter in the way that we tackle, not just this infection, but potentially future infections as well.
While he agreed the development of a vaccine cannot be guaranteed, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said:
I’d be surprised if we didn’t end up with something.
