2nd-September-2020

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the vaccine for Coronavirus being developed by Astra Zeneca has reached phase three clinical trials in the country and is very close to being finalized for approval.

The phase 3 trial is being implemented as part of operation Warp Speed, a multi agency collaboration led by the US Health and Human Services, which aims at accelerating the development and manufacturing of medical counter measures for COVID-19 and delivering 300 million doses of an effective vaccine by January 2021.

�I am pleased to announce that AstraZeneca vaccine has reached phase three clinical trials,� Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday.
"That�s joining another group of vaccines that are very close to the end, and hopefully, approval,� he added.

Astra Zeneca is one of the leaders in the race to develop COVID-19 vaccine. Other companies that have COVID-19 vaccines in phase 3 trials include Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc.

�In the United States, we�re doing things that nobody thought would have been even possible. This is a process that would have taken, in some cases, years and we did it in a matter of months,� Mr. Trump said.
