Astra and Oxford had said their vaccine was 90% effective when a half-dose was given before a fulldose booster, and that two full doses showed an efficacy of 62%. But the head of the US vaccine pro- gram known as ‘Operation Warp Speed’ said the next day that the dose showing the higher level of effectiveness was testa in ed younger population, and that the half-dose was given to some people because of an error in the quantity of vaccine put into some vials. All these details were missing in Astra's original statement. <*&6 41) 2&3 -.7 ;.+* &3) )&9,-8*6 ).*) &+8*6 -.7 78*5 '648-*6 &11*,*)1< 7*8 8-*.6 -497* 43 +.6* 4:*6 & 5645*68< ).7598* .3 395596 ).786.(8 43 #-967)&< +8*6 8-* (6.2* 8-* &((97*) **5&0 -&3,*) $.7-;&0&62& 7*1+ 84 )*&8- &.8-&6.

The initial claims by Oxford had raised that hopes there was finally light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, but the fresh revelations have induced a reality check as the data of the vaccine manufacturers cannot be taken at face value. Also the true efficacy of a vaccine will only be known when people are actually inoculated. RESULT: Astra shares fell as questions about mounted whether the regulator will indeed clear the vaccine. More important, the admission of error, which suggests the data in public domain did not reflect the success rate among older people has eroded public confidence. In an interview on Wednesday, Menelas Pangalos, the AstraZeneca executive in charge of much of the company’s research and development, defended the company’s handling of the testing and its public disclosures.
