Novavax Inc said its coronavirus vaccine was 89.3% effective in preventing Covid-19 in a trial conducted in the UK, and was nearly as effective in protecting against the more highly contagious variant first discovered in the UK, according to a preliminary analysis.

Novavax said the findings from the trial, which enrolled 15,000 people aged 18 to 84, are expected to be used to apply for regulatory review in Britain, the European Union and other countries. Some 27% of people in the trial were over 65, Reuters reports.

The study took place as the more easily transmissible UK variant was circulating, and the preliminary analysis suggests the vaccine was 85.6% effective against this particular mutation, the US company announced in a news release. It did not provide the study data.

In August, the UK added a further 60m doses of Novavax's vaccine to its stockpile.

Fab stuff. I signed up for the Novavax trial but never got called up.

As a Yank vaccine this one should be immune (hur hur) to any Brexit carry-on, hopefully? I don't understand the politics of it one bit, tbh.

I'm going to wait for its faster-acting variant, the SR Novavax.
