 This is encouraging news, and thanks for sharing. I was listening to Debora McKenzie, scientist and author or COVID-19 on C-SPAN 2 Books, and one of the points I grasped onto was that the low and middle income countries who have robust polio vaccine campaigns in place have the delivery systems in place to support a new vaccine. That may be how we Rotarians best support an approved vaccine. Mass prophylaxis through established networks sits well with me.

Hi all,
I just got a message from my son, who heads a school in Hangzhou, China, saying an inactivated Covid-19 vaccine developed in China is now undergoing phase 3 trials in the UAE, and could be available for mass distribution by end of December. Limited quantities are now being made available to front line workers even though the vaccine has not been completely tested. A course of two injections is estimated to cost $144.
This is of course good news for all of us, and suggests that here in the US a vaccine may not be beyond reach as we head into 2021. 
An idea for our Covid-19 fund: free inoculations when they become available and if they are not provided free to all, for those who lack health insurance or the means to purchase the injections.
