From this article: “If the vaccine appears effective and safe in a number of animal species, it will go into clinical trials on humans. This takes at least one year even if expedited,” Yuen said.

Inovio of San Diego already have a computer designed but untested DNA vaccine. In the past DNA vaccines have not been approved for use in humans but they are partnered with a Chinese company and I'm not sure the Chinese will be as conservative as the FDA in terms of trying things. [pasted from another thread]

Their previous Elboa vaccine seemed to work well in tests though I think it never made it to the field. http://ir.inovio.com/news-and-media/news/press-release-detai...

I sometime think the testing protocols are a bit over cautious when you have a candidate that is probably safe and quite likely effective.

Even fast-tracked development will take 1-2 years.

Edit: sorry, I basically repeated what the comment above said. Somehow I overlooked that...

Is that including production? Or just getting approval?
