The Sun (2 hours ago) says that the Oxford Vaccine could come into use by Nov 2nd. The Mirror less sensationally, reports the following :
"A vaccine developed by researchers at Oxford University has been tipped as the front-runner, and now the professor leading the project claims it ‘will be ready by Christmas.’
Professor Adrian Hill, founder and director of the University of Oxford’s Jenner Institute, claims that the vaccine is to get approval ahead of Christmas so it can be used on medics and the elderly before the trial has finished.
The vaccine will then be rolled out to the rest of the UK from early 2021, according to Professor Hill.
According to the Daily Mail, while speaking online to members of Oxford's Magdalen College, Professor Hill said: “The initial licence would be for emergency use, not full approval."
Although this was already in the public domain maybe it was this that spooked the market?
