COVID-19: South Africa halts rollout of Oxford/AstraZeneca jab due to ‘limited protection’ as Britons face needing a third jab
(Worthy News) – South Africa is suspending its rollout of the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine after findings suggested it offers limited protection against mild disease caused by the COVID-19 variant discovered there.
It comes as UK vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi urged the British public to keep faith with the Oxford jab, suggesting that an annual rollout of booster jabs was likely to be required, with the first to come in the autumn.
Referring to data that showed the AstraZeneca vaccine reduced mild-to-moderate COVID-19 by just 22% in a trial conducted by the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa’s health minister Zweli Mkhize said the vaccine would be put on hold. [ Source: Sky News (Read More…) ]
