When will the covid-19 vaccine arrive and will everything be as usual when the vaccine arrives? DN medicine reporter Amina Manzoor explains.

When there were big rain and flood problems in Central Europe a few years ago, a fund was created within the EU, so that the EU would have money to contribute to that kind of crisis situation. The fund is called the “Rainy Days Fund” and it is the one that, with 2,300 million euros, is now available to vaccine coordinators.

“I am partial because I come from the industry. But it is the case that big pharmaceuticals are thought in the very long term. They have said that they should not make any profit from the vaccine, it is a trust building job for them. Its clients are the authorities and the public sector. It would be completely wrong to try to maximize profits in this situation, ”says Richard Bergström.
