UK researchers have found that Covid-19 infections in adults of all ages fell by 65% after a first dose of AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine. Scientists said these results show the real-world impact of the nation's immunisation campaign against the pandemic.
Crucially, the research was conducted at a time when a new and more infectious variant of the coronavirus was dominant in Britain. Data shows that vaccination was just as effective in elderly people and those with underlying health conditions as it was in the young and healthy.
Researchers have found that 21 days after a single dose of vaccine - with no second dose - rates of all new Cpvid-19 infections had dropped by 65%.

The ban will not apply to cargo flights, the govt said, particularly to ensure the continued shipment of vaccines, personal protective equipment and other essential goods.
While India accounts for 20% of recent air travel to Canada, more than half of all positive tests at the border were from flights arriving from the country, the health ministry said.

Making matters even worse, many common coronavirus symptoms bear a close resemblance to the symptoms of altitude sickness and the "Khumbu cough" that often plagues climbers at high altitudes.

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday hailed his government's "stunning" achievement in administering 200 million Covid-19 vaccine shots ahead of schedule. Biden said the landmark had been reached a week before he hits his administration's 100-day mark -- the deadline he'd announced for meeting the 200 million doses challenge. Biden called it a "goal unmatched in the world or in prior mass vaccination efforts in American history." But he warned that rising infection rates in parts of the country showed that it was too early to declare victory.

Around 200 million Chinese, or 14.29 per cent of the population, have been vaccinated for COVID-19 so far.
China is ramping up vaccination efforts after a slow start, prompted in part by the virtual elimination of domestic transmission.
Chinese health officials on Wednesday said the emphasis of the vaccination drive is on front-line workers, university students and people living in border areas.
Just two local cases were reported on Wednesday, both in the city of Ruili, which borders on Myanmar.
China has approved five domestically produced vaccines and exported millions of doses. The Chinese vaccines have an efficacy range of 50.7 per cent to 79.3 per cent, based on company data, lower than their foreign peers but still effective.
