Clinical trials of a coronavirus vaccine will begin on Thursday, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.
The vaccine – developed by the University of Oxford – will be tested on patients with COVID-19.
UK health Secretary told the UK daily briefing that the Oxford trial and another at Imperial College London would be getting tens of millions more of public money.
The Oxford team is starting production before the trial is complete and has said there is an 80% chance of success.
It wants about a million doses ready to be sent out by September.
