Various medical institutes are making their efforts in preparation of vaccine for Covid-19 disease. The medical trials are lengthy in process, how much time it will take for fullproof vaccine for the disease. Please express your views. Thanks
Ravindra S Bankar "The medical trials are lengthy in process..." The trials are extremely, and, under normal circumstances, irresponsibly short! By the way, most vaccines fail in phase III trials.
A BIG IF, IF THE COVID -19 VACCINE IS SUCCESSFUL AND AVAILABLE?
From the phase 3-trials of the COVID-19 that kicked off recently (1-2), it is predicted that the results of these trials will be available by October - November 2020. If the vaccine is successful, the mass production of the successful version may not be able to reach all the people of the world due to insufficient vaccine, and the cost (unless it is donated free by the manufacturing country, or through WHO, a far cry looking at the situation!)

If the COVID-19 vaccine is not successful (meaning it produces very short-term protection from COVID-19, and the reinfections are either not reduced or the complications remain the same, presently produced vaccine will either be dumped as useless, or destroyed).

Our Gamal Institute has created a vaccine and has already passed clinical trials. According to its indicators, it has no contraindications. The declared validity period of the vaccine is 2 years. Now its production will be debugged. But the industrial capacity will not allow him to produce several thousand doses per month. It will probably take a full year for it to hit the market.

No one knows, how much time it will take to develop vaccine against COVID-19.
Yes, medical trails are quite lengthy process. No, one can predict accurately about the exact time of the availability of the vaccine. However, keeping in view recent development, the vaccine is likely to be available in market around April 2021.
Many institutes are making sincere efforts to develop vaccine against COVID-19.
The safety, potency, and cost of vaccine are important factors. If clinical trains are promising, the vaccine may be available by next year.
May be the initial results of phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine trials will be available in October 2020.
DearHermann Gruenwald
The latest information that I know. This vaccine in our country in October-November will be released at the level of 500,000 doses per day. Consider the issue of production in other countries. Israel, Venezuela, and other countries showed interest. So far, this volume will not be enough.

I think it will take few months to get a firm vaccine for COVID-19.
In the latest issue of NEJM (17 September 2020), the answer from the researcher of one of the vaccine shows it will be a painstakingly slow process taking years.
