Fauci is sharing details about Remdesivir.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is offering a new update on vaccine availability for the coronavirus revealing a vaccine could be ready by the end of the year for January.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director appeared on “The Today Show” on Thursday where he spoke with Savannah Guthrie about the potential breakthrough drug currently undergoing a study conducted by the NIH.
Fauci noted that a January roll-out of a vaccine is not far off from his initial 18-month projection to develop one. He also said he believes it is “doable if things fall in the right place.”
“I was saying in January and February that it would be a year to 18 months, so January is a year,” he said. “So it isn’t that much from what I had originally said.”
During the interview, Fauci also discussed the “placebo-controlled, randomized trial” of the drug, Remdesivir.
