Even if the first trial has positive results, additional testing would be needed to validate the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness, according to Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, or NIAID. Dr. Fauci told a House subcommittee Wednesday he expected it would take at least a year to 18 months to be “fully confident that we would have a vaccine that would be able to protect the American people.”</blockquote>
