Shares of GlaxoSmithKline (LON: GSK) are likely to make gains on Monday when the market opens after reports emerged that the pharma giant is nearing a deal with the UK government for COVID-19 vaccines.

Accordingly, GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi are close to agreeing a deal with the government to supply 60 million doses of coronavirus vaccine. The deal is worth around 500 million pounds.

The deal is likely to be concluded this week. Companies are planning to start human trials in September, with a part of the payment dependent on the success of human trials.
