The company AstraZeneca announced Monday that late-stage trials of its vaccine developed with the University of Oxford against COVID-19 were "highly effective" in preventing the disease, giving public health officials hope that they may soon have access to a vaccine that is easier to distribute than some of its pharmaceutical rivals.
The results are based on an interim analysis of trials in the UK and Brazil of the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and manufactured by AstraZeneca. No hospitalizations or serious cases of COVID-19 were reported among those who received the vaccine.
"These findings show that we have an effective vaccine that will save many lives," said Professor Andrew Pollard, the trial's principal investigator. "It's exciting that one of our dosing regimens is around 90% effective," he added.
AstraZeneca is the third major pharmaceutical company to report late-stage results of its potential COVID-19 vaccine as the world eagerly awaits vaccines that will end the pandemic that has killed nearly 1.4 million people.
Two other drug makers, Pfizer and Moderna, reported preliminary results from the last stage of their testing last week, showing that their COVID-19 vaccines were nearly 95% effective.
The internet explodes with memes now, Bemorepanda collected the hottest of them.

The final results of Pfizer Inc.'s COVID-19 vaccine study, developed in conjunction with German partner BioNTech SE, showed almost 95% safety efficacy, paving the way for the drug to apply for its emergency authorization in the US in a few days.
The efficacy rate of the vaccine, the highest of all clinical trial candidates, has been well received by experts who have already said that the interim results, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine by over 90%, are very encouraging.
"Efficacy has been constant depending on age, race and ethnicity. The effectiveness observed in adults over the age of 65 was over 94% ", announced Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech in a joint statement.
Pfizer said there were 170 cases of COVID-19 in its study of more than 43,000 volunteers and only eight patients received the vaccine rather than a placebo, meaning the vaccine had a 95% efficacy rate. Of the 10 people who developed severe COVID-19, one received the vaccine.
"The data is very strong," Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, was quoted as saying by Reuters.
Pfizer said it expects the US Vaccine Advisory Committee to review and discuss the data in a public meeting in December.
"We continue to move with the speed of science, and we know that every day counts on our path to authorization," said Albert Bourla, Pfizer's chief executive.
"The rapid protection offered by this vaccine - combined with its tolerability profile in all age groups studied so far - should help make this vaccine an important tool for addressing the current pandemic," said Dr. Ugur Sahin. , CEO and co-founder of BioNTech.
"There were 10 severe cases of COVID-19 observed in the trial, with nine of the cases occurring in the placebo group and one in the vaccinated group," the two companies said.
The analysis comes just one week after the initial results of the study showed that the vaccine, developed together with the German partner BioNTech SE, had an efficiency of more than 90%.
And Moderna Inc. released preliminary data on Monday for its vaccine, which shows an efficiency of 94.5%.

The pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc announced on Monday that its experimental vaccine against COVID-19 has an efficiency of over 90%, a major victory in the fight against a pandemic that killed over one million people and affected the world economy.
Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SE are the first drug manufacturers to announce success in a large-scale clinical trial of a coronavirus vaccine. The companies said they have not found any serious security issues so far and expect to apply for US authorization this month for emergency use of the vaccine.
If the vaccine is authorized, the number of doses will initially be limited and many questions remain, including how long it will provide protection.
However, the announcement gives hope that other developing COVID-19 vaccines may prove effective.
Pfizer will seek permission from the US authorities for the emergency use of the vaccine for people between the ages of 16 and 85. To do this, it will need two months of security data from about half of the 44,000 study participants.
Pfizer shares rose 6% higher in New York, while BioNTech shares rose 18%.
The shares of other COVID-19 vaccine developers in the final stages of testing also reacted with AstraZeneca up 0.5% in London, while Johnson & Johnson gained 2.6% and Moderna decreased by 1.8% before the opening of the US market.
Pfizer and BioNTech have a $ 1.95 billion contract with the US government to deliver 100 million doses of vaccine starting this year. The companies have also reached supply agreements with the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan.
To save time, companies started producing the vaccine before they knew if it would be effective. It is now expected to produce up to 50 million doses, enough to protect 25 million people this year.
Pfizer said it expects to produce up to 1.3 billion doses of vaccine by 2021. Meanwhile, the Internet has exploded with memes, as has Bemorepanda.

The COVID-19 vaccine will be a tool of major importance to help control the pandemic, along with effective testing and prevention. With several promising candidates working on vaccine development, others under review, but also Pfizer / BioNTech and Moderna vaccines approved for use, the road to a safe and effective vaccine has entered a new phase.
The threat that COVID-19 poses to children is enormous, extending far beyond the immediate physical effects of the disease. As pandemic restrictions are maintained or repeatedly enforced, children's access to routine health services can be severely affected, and this, along with the emerging recession, is jeopardizing the future of a generation of children. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions parents may have about a potential COVID-19 vaccine.
Each country has regulatory bodies that monitor the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine before it is widely used. At the global level, WHO coordinates a number of independent technical bodies that review the safety of vaccines before and even after their introduction. Vaccines approved for use by the WHO have undergone rigorous testing and clinical trials to demonstrate that they are safe and effective in combating disease. Even if COVID-19 vaccines are developed in record time, they can only receive the necessary regulatory approvals if they meet strict safety and efficacy standards.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will stop using this vaccine in federal immunization centers and has urged states to do the same until experts analyze the six cases of blood clots among vaccinated people, one of them - fatal, the authorities quoted by the New York Times announced on Tuesday. Fears about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine seem to be indigo after those related to the AstraZeneca serum, the two products being developed based on a similar technology, but different from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Federal health agencies on Tuesday demanded that Johnson & Johnson's serum vaccination be suspended after six vaccinated people developed blood clots two weeks after the injection, the New York Times reports.
All six people are women between the ages of 18 and 48. One of these women died and a second was hospitalized in critical condition, US officials said. A commission from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will meet Wednesday to review the situation, and the FDA will also conduct an investigation.
More than 6.8 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been administered in the United States so far, but following the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), This serum was discontinued after one woman died and another was hospitalized in serious condition due to blood clotting disorders that occurred after vaccination.
During all this time, an enormous fear started on the internet, which certainly goes hand in hand with some memes. Bemorepanda collected it for you.
