H. O. Tracking around 200. 00 of them of various stages of development there is no shortage of options so far the most popular appears to be the Astra Zeneca OxfordUniversity Vaccine the e. U. And the us are expecting 300000000. 00 doses each of that one while japan and the u. K.

K. 60000000 on this lets speak to craig earlier who is a Senior Market analyst at craig thanks for joining us does this announcement from pfizer and by on sec give them a major advantage over the other vaccine produces. It gives them an advantage in that it looks like theyre going to be the 1st to market so that means that they are going to be highest in the money in the early days and obviously with this process there is no guarantees so just because an Oxford University with an old is a far along in the process until actually gets regulator approval is no guarantee that its going to so 1st the market effectively just means that its the only counted out there for now so to an extent you do get a slight advantage that said there are number of different vaccines potential vaccines out there that will be flooding this market but its not a small market this is an entire global population will be need to need to be vaccinated or at least 70 percent of which will need to be vaccinated now over the next few years so theres going to be plenty of demand more than enough to cover the supply thats going to be provided by pfizer astra zeneca and everyone else so in that respect theres not a great deal of competition i suppose because there is enough demand to satisfy multiple producers but are they competing in a way to try to produce the most trustworthy vaccine because trust is going to be a big part of whether or not people take it up.

S. Administration because they didnt want to be seen to be politically motivated all politically leaned upon they want to trust in this boxing to be 100 percent on this bean statements that weve seen from different regulator bodies around the world wanting to ensure that when a vaccine does become available that the vast majority the public trust that because as a site in order for this to be a success we need to see had immunity so we need some more than 70 percent and if only 50 percent of people trust that and that creates massive barges ok craig from thank you very much for bringing us your expertise on detail for your business thank you.
