The overall results of 70.4 per cent efficacy for the Oxford-AZ vaccine is still higher than most flu jabs, which offer protection of 40-60 per cent.  a lower amount of the vaccine in a first dose and then the full amount in the second dose were found to be 90 per cent less likely to develop  Covid , compared with participants in the placebo group. A possible explanation for the half dose doing better is that this regimen probably mimics the body’s natural response to an infection: a fightback against an infection being led by the first set of antibodies — phagocytes, interferons and cytokines — before a more tailored attack is mounted by the specialised neutralising antibodies — the B-cells and the T-cells. There were no severe cases or hospitalisation in the 23,000 people who got the shot. Unlike the  Moderna  and  Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines , which must be stored/transported at negative 20-80 degrees Celsius, the Oxford-AZ candidate can be stored up closer to n...

  what is herd immunity? Herd immunity happens when a virus can’t spread because it keeps encountering people who are protected against infection. Once a sufficient proportion of the population is no longer susceptible, any new outbreak peters out.” what is the herd immunity threshold for covid? Using the basic reproduction number R0 (the number of people a single infected person would infect in a susceptible population), for SARS-CoV-19, the  herd immunity threshold  is between 50 per cent and 67 per cent of the population. On a nationwide level, this means that 65-87 crore people must acquire immunity. unofficially,    the real extent of the pandemic in India is likely much higher than what the official numbers show, meaning that crores of people in the country already have antibodies. Does this mean that the national vaccination targets can be lower because India only needs to vaccinate those who do not have antibodies?   Not quite. see, like  ...
