It could take years before a coronavirus vaccine is developed, warned German Health Minister Jens Spahn in an interview with German TV channel ARD.
Very promising steps have already been taken, he said, but the development of a vaccine remains "one of the greatest challenges" for the medical world, he added.
"I would be delighted if it works in the coming months," he added. "It can also take years, because of course there can be setbacks. We have seen this with other vaccines."

"The doctors would say, 'Well, you shouldn’t say that.' I'll say what I think."
