Thursday he will convene the Emergency Committee again (the last time it met was when the pandemic was declared, three months ago) to evaluate the evolution of the disease and update recommendations to countries to combat Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.The pharmaceutical industry assures that a vaccine will surely be found by Agencies April 29, 2020 18:28 The president of the pharmaceutical industry association in Spain (Farmaindustria), Martín Sellés, has advanced that "there is a good chance" that some vaccine under investigation, or even several, will be "successful" in clinical trials and will be useful against the Covid-19. «There are already more than 80 coronavirus vaccine development projects, and due to the accumulated knowledge and large-scale manufacturing capacity of several of our pharmaceutical companies, there is a good chance that one or more of them will be successful. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry has committed that there will be no profit motive and the vaccine will reach everyone at an affordable cost," Sellés highlighted during a press video conference with around thirty media outlets.

Sellés has assured that the effort that pharmaceutical companies are making in researching possible treatments and vaccines against this virus is the greatest in memory in the sector. «Never before has there been a greater effort in the field of clinical research. I think that in the coming months we will have positive news with some of the vaccines under investigation , so that it can be available at the beginning of next year, he has advanced. by Taboola Sponsored links you may like Unsold Prefabricated Cabins Are Czech Republic Phone Number List Being Sold On Clearance (See Prices) Unsold Prefabricated Cabins Thank you for watching In any case, he pointed out that the challenge for pharmaceutical companies is twofold. On the one hand, develop an effective vaccine and, on the other, have large-scale production capacity to produce billions of doses as soon as possible. "There are a series of companies that have both capabilities because they have been working on vaccines for infectious diseases, such as meningitis, pneumonia, Zika or Ebola for decades," he indicated.



These same companies have announced their willingness to even manufacture thousands of doses of potential vaccines before their approval, that is, at the risk of having to throw them away. «If we go down the traditional path of producing once we have solid results we would not reach the patient until several months later . For this reason, different companies have announced the start of manufacturing thousands of doses of vaccines at the risk of not being effective, but it is the only way to have a vaccine available to everyone in the first quarter of 2021. " has stated. The development of a vaccine normally takes a minimum of 7 to 8 years, and the challenge this time is to do that entire process in just a few months. Regarding research into medicines, the president of Farmaindustria wanted to highlight the leading role that Spain is playing in this aspect. «Spanish hospitals, both public and private, are playing a leading role. Right now, in Spain there are up to 53 clinical trials underway and another 55 observational studies to verify the effectiveness of these medications, which makes Spain one of the countries in the world with the highest number of clinical trials underway against the coronavirus. , has quantified.
