GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR A CORONAVIRUS VACCINE

 

      


 

The whole world is extremely optimistic about two coronavirus vaccines that have been recently produced by two pharmaceutical companies that will save humanity of this deadly disease.  These are Pfizer and BioNtech.



 


According to the World Health Organisation “vaccine candidate was found to be more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 participants without evidence of prior SARS COV-2 in the first interim efficacy analysis.  

 

The analysis is evaluated 94 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in trial participants.

 

Study enrolled 43.538 participants, with 42% having diverse backgrounds and no serious safety concerns have been observed.  Safety and additional efficacy data continue to be collected.





Submission for Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) planned for soon after the required safety milestone is observed, which is currently expected to occur in the third week of November.

 

Clinical trials to continue through to final analysis at 164 confirmed cases in order to collect further data and characterise the vaccine candidates’ performance against other study endpoints.”

 

We must still keep all the cautionary measures such as wear masks, keep distances and often, meticulously, wash our hands until we are all vaccinated so we and our loved ones all humans are safe.
