AstraZeneca Backs Its COVID Shot

LONDON (AFP) – AstraZeneca has said it is standing by its coronavirus vaccine after a US agency raised concerns about trial results that showed the shot to be highly effective in preventing COVID-19.

As immunization programs gather pace around the world, another vaccine ran into trouble yesterday when Hong Kong and Macau suspended the PfizerBioNTech jab over what authorities said were packaging problems.

The uncertainties are a blow to scientists’ hopes for a quick rollout of what they say is the best hope of ending a pandemic that has killed more than 2.7 million people.
