COVID-19 vaccine trials: Live updates

AstraZeneca and partners from the University of Oxford published the results of some of their vaccine candidate clinical trials earlier this month in The Lancet, demonstrating 70% efficacy after two doses of the experimental vaccine.

Days later, the company announced that they were considering testing their vaccine candidate in combinations with others. 

“Assessing different types of COVID-19 vaccines in combination could help unlock synergies in protection and improve vaccine accessibility and could provide an additional approach to help overcome this deadly virus,” a press release said.

12/22/2020 14:16 GMT — European Medicines Agency grant authorization for the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine

The European Medicines Agency (EMA), an agency of the European Union (EU), have recommended that the European Commission (EC) grant a conditional marketing authorization for the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, called Comirnaty.

An EMA conditional marketing authorization entails approving a medicinal product “that addresses unmet medical needs of patients on the basis of less comprehensive data than normally required,” as long as the benefits of that product outweigh its risks.

The EC granted the authorization on December 21, 2020, and the first doses of the vaccine are due to reach EU member states on December 26, 2020, with the start of vaccinations planned for the December 27–29, 2020, period.

According to Emer Cooke, the EMA’s executive director, “Our thorough evaluation means that we can confidently assure EU citizens of the safety and efficacy of this vaccine and that it meets necessary quality standards.”

12/21/2020 09:20 GMT — Low income countries lose out to wealthy countries

In a recent report, a coalition of scientists, activists, and international organizations warn that 90% of people in 67 low income and lower-middle income countries will not receive vaccinations against COVID-19 in 2021.

According to the People’s Vaccine Alliance, this is partly due to rich countries purchasing many times the number of doses of the vaccine necessary to vaccinate their populations. Anna Marriott, health policy manager for Oxfam, explains:

“No one should be blocked from getting a lifesaving vaccine because of the country they live in or the amount of money in their pocket. But unless something changes dramatically, billions of people around the world will not receive a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 for years to come.”
