Last month, Pfizer and BioNTech SE had said that the shot, relying on novel technology called messenger RNA, was 95% effective in a final analysis of clinical-trial data.
Shown to be 95% effective, Pfizer's vaccine could be the first to be cleared for use, but before that, it must clear the FDA's thorough vetting process, which could take at least 3 weeks.
Researchers at Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. both announced preliminary results showing that their Covid-19 vaccines are more than 90% effective against the virus.
Pfizer said its vaccine protected people of all ages & ethnicities, with no significant safety problems in trial that includes almost 44,000 participants.
These vaccinators run Universal Immunisation Programme that inoculates mothers & children, and govt is concerned about diverting resources for Covid vaccine.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
