Clinical detail data shows data only 22% of efficiency against the new variant called 501Y.V2, only minimal.
Minister Mkhize said that at the time that government acquired the vaccines, this clinical trial data had not been concluded.
Those scientists must get together and quickly figure out what approach we’re going to use to effectively deploy the AstraZeneca vaccines. Dr Mkhize said.
Professor Shabir Madhialso added that the cobecern was to vaccinate a high risk group against severe forms of COVID-19 and fatalities.
“I think it would be somewhat reckless of us to discard all the millions of dollars of vaccine that is available. There is a biological probability that these vaccines might still be useful in terms of protecting against severe disease.” Shabir Madhi said.Â
