Coronavirus vaccines work well against Indian variant
Two shots of a Covid vaccine work almost as well against the Indian variant as they do against the dominant UK strain of the virus, a study published Saturday said.
Britain's Health Secretary Matt Hancock called the data groundbreaking and expressed hope stage 4 of England's Covid roadmap could proceed without hitch on June 21.
A study by Public Health England found the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 88 percent effective against symptomatic disease from the B.1.617.2 variant two weeks after the second dose.
