Pfizer COVID vaccine effective against India variant: Britain health body
Fox News
New data from the United Kingdom indicates that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is effective against the India variant, which has previously been labeled by U.S. health officials as a "variant of interest."
With several variants appearing within the country, health officials in other countries feared the possibility that the current vaccines would see reduced efficacy. Earlier in May, France’s health minister reported around 20 cases of the India variant, identified as B.1.617. However, the British government has touted a new study published by Public Health England that shows for the first time that the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines remain "highly effective" against the India variant.More Related News
