The whole world is in a battle against a virus. Everyone is getting used to their new lives, but the one we all share in common is the hope of a vaccine. Here is everything you have to know about our future with COVD-19.

Drugmakers are competing to be the first to enter the vaccine market for COVID-19. Here are the updates and results from recent data. According to recent data by British pharma, there is a chance for the vaccine to hit the market by mid-September. AstraZeneca which is a British pharmaceutical company has vowed to put about 30 million doses of their vaccine in the market by the end of the month.
Alongside, Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. from the US would come up with their research by October 22. Other sources also show that China's Sinovac Biotech is also to have preliminary results by the end of October. The first results according to American Companies is a good start to understanding the pace the world will work with and how soon it can open up.
WHO, however, has asked all the countries to not make the vaccine in a hurry and ensure that they are going to pass all the standardized tests. The vaccines are currently being tested on relatively healthy people which in comparison to drug trials my be leaning towards a bias. There are more than tens of thousands of tests required before the vaccines are officially declared to be effective.
So the chances of an approved vaccine to be out by mid-September may be slim. However, some promising grounds can be made by the end of the year which can have a good level of pace for the future of the world. All we can do is hope for the best.
