We’re getting closer to a possible COVID-19 vaccine. A few of them are being tested right now, but one is looking very promising.

It was developed by Pfizer Experts there say it looks about 90% effective. It requires two doses. So you’d get one shot and then wait a bit before the second.

That second one is considered a “Booster,” but while this progress is good, experts say we’re still months away from everyone getting access.

“We’ve never done anything like this with this speed and this scale,” says U of I’s Biochemistry Professor Christopher Brooke. “Many of these candidates, including the Pfizer vaccine candidates -these are new technologies that have never really been manufactured at this scale before.”

So when could we have access to a vaccine? Experts say maybe next summer. It will first go to people working the frontline and then trickle down to everyone else.
