Novavax announced spectacular results for its phase 3 trial, while preliminary data suggest the AstraZeneca vaccine is ineffective against the South African variant.
These two vaccines comprise the bulk of Australias vaccine portfolio, and the results should prompt an urgent rethink of our vaccination strategy.
