The chances of becoming infected by Covid fell sharply after a first dose of either the AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccines, a UK study has found.
The vaccines worked just as well in the over-75s and those with underlying health conditions, as other people.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) and University of Oxford research also found a strong antibody response in all age groups from either jab.
Everyone showed some response to both vaccines, they said.
The research, contained in two studies which have not yet been peer-reviewed or published, is based on virus tests from 370,000 people in the general UK population - one of the largest to date.
It provides further real-world evidence that the vaccines being used in the UK to protect against Covid-19 are effective at protecting people against coronavirus infections.
In the first study, people who had been vaccinated with a single dose of either the Oxford-AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines were 65% less likely to get a new Covid infection.

Just remember, that we; DO HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO EACH OTHER. Most of us knew that from in the military, although I see a certain group has forgotten that. I've had both my shots. And FYI my dog and cat are up on theirs as well.

your dog and cat immunizations were fully vetted and approved through the animal clinical process.
Responsibility to educate is paramount in these "experimental" vaccines arena.
No animals were tested with these vaccines, as an fyi.

These are still “experimental” drug therapies.
Please keep that in mind.
These “experimental” drugs have not completed the full clinical study rigors through to “approval”.
