COVID-19. Unofficially, we have a vaccine. Officially, we might have it in May.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to many experts in the healthcare sphere, the spreading of COVID-19 over the world has not reached its peak, and we do not have a vaccine against this disease yet. Currently, the first place in terms of the number of diseased among countries is taken by the USA.

The permission to sell the drug usually takes 4 years to receive, but this time the company may only need 4 months to get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will discuss what companies are closer to the final stage of testing than others. The stocks<\/a> of such companies will attract the most vivid attention of investors because the demand for the vaccine will exceed its production power, which means the company will make a maximum profit selling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before a drug comes into the market, it passes 5 stages of testing. I have already spoken about this in detail in the article \"FDA: How to Find Stocks of Promising Healthcare Companies?<\/a>\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the stages are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
