Sanofi's head of vaccine research, John Shiver, says "we are using an existing technology that was designed for influenza, and we're applying it to the new virus that causes Covid-19 disease".
Sanofi says GSK "will contribute its adjuvant technology, an ingredient added to enhance the immune response, reduce the amount of vaccine protein required per dose and improve the chances of delivering an effective vaccine that can be manufactured at scale".
The candidate vaccine is expected to enter clinical trials in the second half of 2020 and to be available by the second half of 2021.
