US health official Fauci: Early data on coronavirus vaccine looks promising
|Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Friday that positive early results from the phase 1 study of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine were a good sign.
"It reached, and went over, an important hurdle in the development of the vaccine," Dr Fauci told CNN. "That’s the reason why I am cautiously optimistic about it."
Meanwhile, according to an NPR reporter, Fauci also noted that the early data on the coronavirus vaccine was promising.
