Very encouraging news today from @pfizer and @BioNTech_Group with preliminary analysis showing their vaccine can potentially prevent more than 90% of people from getting #COVID19. 👏
It's a case of "so far so good" says Brendan Wren.
ALT “A 90% efficacy for a phase 3 trial is excellent for a new vaccine that could make a huge difference, but more confirmatory safety and efficacy studies are required. The RNA-based vaccine requires two doses and its true efficacy over a longer period of time remains to be evaluated. These are encouraging results and it is a case of so far so good.” Brendan Wren, LSHTM
