We are looking at Russia.A small study in rhesus macaques suggested it could prove to be the latter - the virus was still present in their noses after the vaccine was administered, research found.

Pascal Soriot is the chief executive at AstraZeneca (Getty) AstraZeneca chief executive Pascal Soriot believes the COVID-19 vaccine being developed … 'Researchers place genetic material from the coronavirus into another virus that’s been modified. The results could be deemed useless if fewer than 20 test positive.We are no longer accepting comments on this article.Britain has agreed to pay for the doses 'as early as possible' - with ministers hoping for a third of those to be ready for September if proven effective.The virus is so hard to track and spreads so easily that experts believe it will continue to spread through the human population indefinitely, if a vaccine cannot be found.This virus, weakened by genetic engineering, is a type of virus called an adenovirus, the same as those which cause common colds, that has been taken from chimpanzees.The Cambridge-based firm expects to have distributed hundreds of millions of doses of the vaccine this year and at least 2billion by mid-2021.Mr Soriot also announced a licensing deal with the Serum Institute of India to provide 1billion doses of the vaccine to low- and middle-income countries by 2021. 'Pascal Soriot, chief executive of AstraZeneca, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'We are starting to manufacture this vaccine right now. None of those animals developed pneumonia, lung disease,” Mr Soriot told The Andrew Marr Show.“We are racing as quickly as we can to implement this clinical trial,” revealed Mr Soriot, alluding to the huge impending US trial.Appearing on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Mr Soriot was asked if British people will be among the first to get the vaccine, should it prove effective.The pressure of time also restricted the chances of other vaccines being developed, he noted.“So we still have all the opportunities to show the benefit of this vaccine. We are doing it at cost - at no profit. We are very grateful to the huge support of the trial volunteers in helping test whether this new vaccine could protect humans against the pandemic coronavirus.”AstraZeneca will begin supplying an order of 100 million doses of a Covid-19 vaccine for British people in September - if ongoing trials prove successful.AstraZeneca has received more than $1bn from the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for the development, production and delivery of the vaccine, starting in the autumn. But being protected from being sick would already be a huge plus.”“We are so proud to be collaborating with Oxford University to turn their ground-breaking work into a medicine that can be produced on a global scale. We would like to thank the US and UK governments for their substantial support to accelerate the development and production of the vaccine.

The programme also includes a phase III clinical trial with 30,000 participants and a paediatric trial.“The supply for the UK will be manufactured in the UK.”Trial data is expected shortly and, if positive, will lead to late-stage trials in a number of countries.The supply for Europe will primarily be manufactured on the continent.This website and its associated newspaper are members of the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO)“The vaccine has to work - that is one question - and the other question is, even if it works, we have to demonstrate it,” said Mr Soriot.Meanwhile, a phase II clinical trial is getting under way to expand the age range of people assessed, with 10,260 people across the UK being enrolled, including some children aged 5 to 12 and some people aged over 70.

In July 2017, it was reported that Soriot would become the next CEO of Israel-based Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, succeeding Erez Vigodman, though this was soon refuted. But it is very clear it is a race.”“The question around the vaccine is will some patients need a second dose and also will the vaccine eliminate the virus from the body, or simply protect them against being sick.
