(super geeky background, GSK is very good at whole viral vaccines, especially egg based products. Sanofi good at viral component vaccines)
On the regulation, the UK regulator (MHRA) is being super flexible on regulations so we would very likely take EMA approval directly even if approved after the end of the transition period. Where there's a will, there's a way...

Also the EU thing really won't matter here. There is a lot of money being thrown at this and as soon as a viable vaccine is found it'll be produced on a scale never seen before.
