American pharmaceutical Pfizer announced that its vaccine against Covid-19, developed in partnership with a German company, is more than 90% effective in preventing the disease, according to initial data.
The companies plan to request emergency approval for the use of the vaccine by the end of the month. According to the companies, two doses will be necessary, with an interval of three weeks. The tests, carried out on almost 44,000 people in six countries, including Brazil and the United States, show that 90% protection is achieved seven days after the second dose.
The data presented is not the final analysis. The precise effectiveness of the vaccine may change when the complete results are analyzed. Pfizer believes it will be able to deliver 50 million doses by the end of this year, and about 1.3 billion by the end of 2021. *
