The world is awaiting a reliable vaccine for the novel Corona virus.
Both Ontario and Quebec reported more than one thousand new cases of COVID-19 3 days ago and a total of 39 deaths.
There were no new cases in Newfoundland and Labrador on November 6, with 5 active cases.
Dr. Natalie Bridger is a clinical chief of infection prevention and control for Eastern Health and an associate professor in pediatrics at the faculty of medicine at MUN.
She says ten different vaccines are currently in phase three trials, with hundreds of others in various levels of development.
While things are developing at a rapid pace, Dr. Bridger says its hard to know when a vaccine will be widely available for distribution.
She’s hopeful it will be soon, but doubts it will be the end of the year.
