Moderna began final clinical trials this month and Johnson & Johnson will next month. These trials will include thousands of people (30,000 for Moderna) and they will have to wait and see if they catch the virus, which will be a slower process as the spread slows down in the summer. You then have to start large scale manufacturing if it was truly successful. That's why it likely won't be available for the public for many months. Moderna is hoping to have it ready and approved to give to healthcare workers in the fall.
