BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Sir Jeremy Farrar: 'I do believe there will be a vaccine' in 2020 and 2021

Sir Jeremy Farrar is a scientific advisor to the UK government

Sir Jeremy is the director of the Wellcome Trust, a funder of scientific research in the UK. How confident is he that a vaccine to Covid-19 will be available in the next year?
