From the health of the British people, from June 14, the Pfizer-Bontech vaccine was 96 percent effective against hospitalization from the Delta variant after two Dosage, and az (astrazeneca) is 92 percent effective against hospitalization after two doses.
“” Since these vaccines – AZ and J & J (Johnson & Johnson) are based on a very similar platform, one can anticipate and make that assumption It makes sense that the results of the Delta variant will be at least similar, maybe better.
We now see neutralization data, and soon we will have stronger data that we will be available for you as soon as it happens, “he said while talking about a single dose vaccine J & J.
