Primary analysis of data from Phase III trials of the AstraZeneca/Oxford #COVID19 vaccine has so far shown that it offers protection against severe disease, hospitalisation & death.
It is vital now to determine its effectiveness when it comes to preventing more severe illness. Image
These results confirm we must do everything possible to reduce the circulation of the virus, prevent infections & reduce the opportunities for the SARS-CoV-2 to evolve resulting in mutations that may reduce the efficacy of existing #COVID19 vaccines.

#COVID19 vaccine manufacturers must be prepared to adjust to the SARS-CoV-2 viral evolution, including potentially providing future booster shots and adapted vaccines, if found to be scientifically necessary.
