Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine: 70% effective on average

Another two-dose vaccine, that was 90% effective in the group that got a half-dose first, and then a full dose second (but less effective in the group that got a full dose each time).  Note that in this trial they also checked for asymptomatic infections.   Various experts comment here.

One response to “Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine: 70% effective on average”

  1. I fully agree with Sheila Bird's take in the reactions linked above. We have to wait for proper, published data. These press releases… they aren't enough to base a firm opinion on.
