Kathmandu. The United Kingdom has announced that it will launch a vaccine against the novel coronavirus before Christmas. This is a second major breakthrough as it was reported earlier that the vaccine developed by the American company Moderna was 95% effective.
In an interview with the BBC, British Health Minister Matt Hancock announced that they will be launching a vaccine developed by an American company Pfizer. Pfizer also said that the vaccine it developed was 90% safe.
Moderna and Pfizer both have developed vaccines using state-of-the-art technology.
However, experts have forecasted that Moderna’s vaccine will be more successful than Pfizer’s. Pfizer’s vaccine requires an ultra-cold storage refrigerator, while Moderna’s vaccine can be stored in a normal refrigerator up to a month.
