The coronavirus vaccine being developed by Sanofi won't need to be super-cooled and a normal refrigerator will suffice, the Paris-based drugmaker's France chief Olivier Bogillot said Sunday. The companies said they expect to supply up to 50 million vaccine doses globally in 2020, and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021. "Our vaccine will be like the 'flu vaccine, you can keep it in your refrigerator," this avoiding the problem, Bogillot told the CNews channel. The Sanofi vaccine, one of many in development, will be available for distribution next June, Bogillot added. The results of the Phase 2 tests, involving hundreds of people, will be made public in early December, he added.
