Covid-19: Novavax vaccine shows 89% efficacy in UK trials
 

A new coronavirus vaccine has been shown to be 89.3% effective in
large-scale UK trials.

The Novavax jab is the first to show it is effective against the new
variant of the virus discovered in the UK, the BBC's medical editor
Fergus Walsh said.

The PM welcomed the "good news" and said the UK's medicines regulator
would now assess the vaccine.

The UK has secured 60 million doses of the jab, which will be made in
Stockton-on-Tees.

The doses are expected to be delivered in the second half of this year,
if approved for use by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory
Agency (MHRA), the government said.
