Very promising news that the Pfizer/BioNtech #COVID19 #vaccine candidate BNT162b2 demonstrated more than 90% efficacy in the first phase 3 interim analysis (after 94 events). https://biontechse.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/pfizer-and-biontech-announce-vaccine-candidate-against-covid-19/
In the phase 3 trial, 43,000+participants enrolled to test Pfizer/BioNTech’s 2-dose #mRNA #vaccine. The efficacy estimate could change w/longer follow up. Questions remain-full report w/details of all endpoints/safety key.
