Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 February 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Wuhan Coronavirus.


Wuhan Coronavirus

We have put £40 million into the global and domestic efforts to find a vaccine, and the work got under way fast. That work is progressing, but it takes time not just to develop a vaccine, but to ensure that it is assured and safe to use. It is in the nature of these things—because of incubation periods and the nature of the science—that it does take time.
