From The Times today....
A study by Public Health England found that a single dose of the Pfizer vaccine gave 94 per cent protection against a person being admitted to hospital after catching the Indian strain. This was similar to the 85 per cent protection it gave against the Kent variant.
For the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, a single dose gave 71 per cent protection against the Indian strain, compared with 76 per cent against the Kent strain, according to the analysis.
After a second dose, Pfizer’s protection against the Indian variant rose to 96 per cent and AstraZeneca’s to 92 per cent, similar to the 95 per cent and 86 per cent offered by each jab against the Kent strain.
