       Fauci,NIH : 1 year
       Fauci said it would take a few months until the first phase of
       clinical trials begins and
       more than a year until a vaccine is available
       Tregoning, Imperial College at Bloomberg : 5-6 Months
       University of Queensland : 16 weeks , 6 months
       The team hopes to develop a vaccine over the next six months,
       which may be used to help
       contain this outbreak,” he said. “The vaccine would be
       distributed to first responders,
       helping to contain the virus from spreading around the world.”
       (Paul Young)
       Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s chief medical officer, committed to
       getting that done
       on CEPI’s 16-week timeline. And the company will be able to
       manufacture the
       eventual vaccine in a matter of a few months, Zaks said. That
       should cover
       clinical trials, he said, but if the vaccine ends up working —
       and the 2019-nCoV
       outbreak drags on — the company would have to rely on someone
       else to
       churn out the massive number of doses required to halt the
       virus.
       David Weiner , Inovio : "much faster".
       Gregory Glenn from Novavax says that his firm is working on
       developing a
       vaccine for the China coronavirus, and work on that could take
       two to three months.
       CEPI : In 16 Wochen sollen die ersten Impfstoffe gegen das
       neuartige Coronavirus
       getestet werden Eine Erfolgsgarantie gebe es allerdings nicht.
       Laut Experten dürfte es aber mindestens ein Jahr dauern, bis ein
       fertiger Impfstoff
       zur Verfügung steht.
       -----------------------------------------
       I speculate they could somehow reduce the testing phase, if time
       urges,
       That makes it somehow risky, but hey, the pandemic is the bigger
       risk.
       I can't find any statements on this, though. But maybe they
       mustn't talk
       about this ... it's all commercial,legal.government - they can't
       just speak freely.

       Der britische Epidemiologe Jeremy Farrar geht davon aus, dass
       ein Impfstoff gegen das neuartige Coronavirus 2019-nCoV zu spät
       kommen wird, um die drohende globale Ausbreitung der Seuche zu
       verhindern. „Realistischerweise wird ein Impfstoff frühestens
       zum Jahresende fertig oder in einem Jahr – und das wäre schon in
       Rekordzeit“, sagte Farrar dem „Spiegel“. Wenn man Pech habe,
       werde es „niemals gelingen“.
       Der Direktor des Wellcome Trust
       „Es könnte sogar sein, dass das neuartige Coronavirus anders als
       Influenzaviren nicht nur hauptsächlich saisonal auftritt,
       sondern das ganze Jahr kursiert“, so der Mediziner weiter. Er
       bezweifelt, dass die Bewohner westlicher Metropolen wie München
       oder Paris im Falle einer Pandemie eine wochenlange Abriegelung
       ihrer Städte wie in China hinnehmen würden.
       Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, könnte es bis zum Jahresende ein
       Serum geben. Ist ein Impfstoff gefunden, muss er noch einen
       langen Weg bis zur Zulassung gehen.

       Researchers in China and the US are developing a vaccine for the
       new Coronavirus.
       If all goes well, they may run the first tests in three months.
       A vaccine would be
       available mid-year — at the very earliest.

       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       --
       Even if it all goes well, the earliest a vaccine against nCoV
       could be introduced would
       be the summer of 2020.
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       -
       Another potential approach against the coronavirus nCoV is with
       monoclonal antibodies,
       which can activate specific immunological reactions in the body.
       Herbert Virgin at Vir Biotechnology in Illinois, USA, says his
       company has developed
       antibodies which have shown themselves to be effective against
       SARS and MERS in
       laboratory tests. Some were reportedly able to neutralize
       coronaviruses. "It's possible that
       they could also treat the Wuhan virus," says Virgin.
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       -
       Prof. Mark Harris, a virologist at the School for Molecular and
       Cell Biology at the
       University of Leeds in the UK, estimates the mortality rate of
       nCoV to be at 0.1 percent.
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A spokesman for the Institutes (NIH) said that it could be a few
       months before the first
       clinical trials of the vaccine get underway – and a year
       or more before it’s available.
       ----------------------------------------
       Meanwhile, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston is also
       reported to be working on a vaccine.
       ----------------------------------------
       so they are going to test it on animals who so far have not been
       found to catch the virus
       so whats that going to prove apart from if it does not kill an
       animal it MAY be ok for
       humans why not just test it on a confirmed subject and bypass
       animal crue..
       --------------------------------------
       Feb.12
       The first vaccine targeting the new coronavirus could be 18
       months away, and the outbreak
       could end up creating a global threat potentially worse than
       terrorism, the WHO has warned.
       --------------------------------------------------
       At least a dozen research teams globally have already made
       headway in vaccine research
       against the new coronavirus.
       -----------------------------------------------------
       Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIAID, said they are on track
       to test their vaccine by April.
       “Whenever you’re dealing with a vaccine,
       there’s always a potential for glitches,”
       “Right now, all those glitches, they’ve been
       overcome.”
       Phase one of human testing will still take at least three months
       to complete, he said.
       Then a decision has to be made about whether the vaccine will
       advance to a phase two trial.
       “The risk is the companies now have to invest a lot of
       money,” Fauci said. “You would
       have to do a trial of several hundred to several thousand people
       to see if it works —
       that usually takes anywhere from several months to a couple of
       years.”
       Even with expedited approval, phase two of the new coronavirus
       vaccine would require
       a time investment of at least a year, he said.
       ------------------------------------------------
       The 'holy grail' universal vaccine
       Another competitive advantage the team enjoys is Hogue’s
       prior experience working
       on a SARS vaccine, which should speed up their work on the new
       coronavirus vaccine,
       since the new virus is about 80% similar to SARS at the genetic
       level.
       In hindsight, Hogue wishes she had continued to work on her SARS
       vaccine.
       "At the time we were pursuing this, we didn't have all that
       background and understanding
       that there were a lot of these SARS-like viruses that could
       infect humans,” she said.
       -------------------------------------------------------
       An expert in infectious diseases on Monday said it was possible
       there could be a vaccine
       against the new virus originating in China "at the very
       earliest" by September.
       Chair of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at Imperial College
       London, Professor Azra Ghani,
       added "it's more likely to be towards the end of the year".
       ----------------------------------------------------------
       In Kooperation mit dem Forscherteam um Sutter arbeitet auch eine
       Gruppe
       um den Virologen Stephan Becker, Direktor des Instituts für
       Virologie an der
       Philipps Universität Marburg und Koordinator des
       Forschungsbereichs
       Neu auftretende Infektionskrankheiten am Deutschen Zentrum für
       Infektionsforschung (DZIF), an einem Impfstoffkandidaten.
       Wenn der politische oder medizinische Druck hoch genug sei, dann
       würden
       die Zulassungsverfahren beschleunigt, zeigten seine Erfahrungen.

       This feels very optimistic for vaccine for the masses.
       Some people *may* get vaccinated in 18 months. But it won't be
       most of us.
       ----------------------------------------------------
       @florian_krammer
       Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 will be very important. But don't
       get fooled by press releases.
       To get them will take time.
       Merck and J&J did their phase 1-2-3 more or less in parallel.
       Will the FDA / EMA allow such
       an approach for covid-19 vaccine?. I would hope so.
       @nataliexdean
       If Phase 3 trials are successful, there is also a precedent for
       immediately providing the vaccine
       under an emergency use authorization (pre-licensure) as long as
       recipients provide informed
       consent. This has been done in the DRC for Ebola.

       “We were able to go from no vaccine to a vaccine tested in the
       clinic in about 18 months — 15 to 18 months,”
       “And we were able to design and develop and move into the
       clinic in 11 months [MERS].”

       Even in the rosiest of scenarios, Hatchett says, once the
       vaccine is in hand, it still needs to get to the people who need
       it, and that takes time — at least weeks to months, depending on
       the urgency.
       “We are making very aggressive efforts in the hopes of having a
       vaccine available — some form of vaccine available, potentially,
       as early as this fall,” Hatchett says.

       Sanofi and Britain's

       May 21 (Reuters) - AstraZeneca expects to be able to deliver a

       COVID-19 vaccine this year and next
       AstraZeneca says it has secured capacity to produce 2 billion
       doses
       84-90% of vaccine candidates fail (have "attrition") in Phase
       III clinical trials[4][54]
       Walter Ricciardi,WHO : there is quite a strong probability that
       the vaccine will work
       Sanofi would be able to supply up to 360 million doses of its
       mRNA vaccine annually
       In April, Sanofi said it had manufacturing capacity for 600
       million doses for its recombinant
       vaccine, with the ambition to double production by mid-2021.
       Sanofi said it had capacity to produce up to 1 billion doses a
       year
       23.06.2020 · Sanofi said it had capacity to produce up to 1
       billion doses a year of its recombinant
       vaccine, and that it would be able to supply up to 360 million
       doses of its mRNA vaccine annually.
       "We believe the probability of success is high enough that we
       are willing to support the
       manufacturing at-risk," Dr. Hatchett said.
       AstraZeneca said it reached a second agreement with the Serum
       Institute of India to provide
       one billion doses for low and middle-income countries, including
       400 million by the end of this year.
       Last month, AstraZeneca agreed to provide 100 million doses to
       the U.K., with an initial
       supply of 30 million doses per September.
       Initial supplies of any successful vaccine are expected to be
       limited. Some drugmakers have
       sought to set up manufacturing capacity in multiple countries,
       in case individual countries
       impose export bans on any successful vaccines produced within
       their borders.
