[Ticker] Possible Covid vaccine before year's end, says EU

A vaccine against Covid-19 may be available before the end of the year, said European Commissioner for health Stella Kyriakides, in an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt on Sunday. "Although making predictions is risky at this point, we have good indications that the first vaccine will be available toward the end of this year or beginning of next year," she is quoted as having said.
