Study finds AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine follows genetic instructions

Thu, 22nd Oct 2020 11:05

LONDON, Oct 22 (Reuters) - AstraZeneca's Oxford
COVID-19 vaccine accurately follows the genetic instructions
programmed into it by its developers to successfully provoke a
strong immune response, according to a detailed analysis carried
out by independent scientists.

"The vaccine is doing everything we expected and that is
only good news in our fight against the illness," said David
Matthews, an expert in virology from Bristol University, who led
the research.
