Forbes - AstraZeneca Vaccine Effective In U.S.

This morning, AstraZeneca announced that in U.S. phase 3 clinical trials its vaccine was found to be 79% effective at preventing symptomatic Covid-19, and 100% effective at preventing severe disease and hospitalization. The company plans to apply for an emergency authorization from the FDA and, if so authorized, could be  an incredible addition to the U.S. vaccine arsenal at a time when some areas of the country are experiencing a significant rise in cases. Across the Atlantic, however, the vaccine remains mired in controversy. Even though the World Health Organizations and other medical experts continue to back the vaccine, scares over blood clots have continued to shake the trust of patients in the European Union.
