The AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine protects almost 100% from severe development of Covid-19, said the vice president of the German branch of the British-Swedish company Klaus Hinterding, refuting claims that this vaccine has a low level of effectiveness.
According to the Athens and Macedonia News Agency, the vaccine protects almost 100% from severe disease progression. “This has been very clear in clinical trials,” Hinterding told rbb Berlin-Brandenburg Radio, adding that he was confused by the fact that its effectiveness in protecting against possible infections reached 70%, while that of vaccines of the BioNTech / Pfizer and Moderna companies exceeds 90%.
“What is confusing is the difference between protection against infection and protection against possible severe disease progression,” said the AstraZeneca Germany executive, concluding that “the most important non-vaccination” and that “the worst that can be to do is not get vaccinated at all. “
