This study gives hope: The efficacy against “mild, moderate and severe diseases caused by the original Covid-19 strain” is 96.4 percent, Novavax said. This means: 96.4 percent fewer illnesses occurred among the test subjects in the vaccinated group than among those in the control group.
British Health Secretary Matt Hancock spoke of “really encouraging results”. Britain ordered 60 million doses of the vaccine. Hancock noted on Friday that these cans are made in the northeast of England.
15,000 study participants
According to the results of the phase III study in Great Britain, the protein-based vaccine NVX-CoV2373 is 86.3 percent effective against the B.1.1.7 variant, which initially appeared in southern England, Novavax announced. All data are based on 106 infections. About 15,000 people between the ages of 18 and 84 participated in the study.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has already started a vaccine review process. (pbe / SDA)
