American biotech company Novavax announced yesterday that their COVID-19 vaccine PREVENT-19 demonstrated 90% overall efficacy in its phase 3 trial, and provides 100% protection against moderate and severe disease.
The phase 3 trial showed PREVENT-19 had high efficacy (90.3%) against newer variants of concern and variants of interest (VOC and VOI respectively). This means that PREVENT-19 may be particularly useful in the ongoing fight against rapidly mutating variants, like those that have emerged in South Africa (Beta variant), the UK (Alpha) and India (Delta).
