AZ jab: People may be three times more likely to get Covid symptoms than Pfizer's - study
The UK is hurtling towards July 19, when England will be released from all remaining coronavirus restrictions. What was expected to be a moment of jubilation for the nation has been met with increasing apprehension. New SAGE figures are bound to amplify that anxiety. According to data published by the body of experts, those double-jabbed with the AstraZeneca vaccine may be three times more likely to get symptoms of the virus than those who got Pfizer and Moderna.
Further complicating the picture is a new study published in the journal Nature.
The study suggests the jab could confer lifelong protection against COVID-19.
In addition to vigorously generating virus-eliminating antibodies, the vaccine also creates “training camps” in the body for search-and-destroy T-cells which can kill even new variants, the study found.
It means the body can continue making these vital cells long after the antibodies have waned – as possibly for the rest of your life.
