Predictions
- Development of domestic vaccines will boost pharmaceutical industry, but broader rollout will face delays in coming months
- Slow global vaccine exports and low available doses mean mass vaccination unlikely to start until late 2021 or early 2022
- Potential for new outbreaks will sustain risk of reintroduction of local restrictions and ensure international travel remains strictly controlled in coming year
