Eric Topol added,
Eric, I get it, but how it is going to look, if we are exporting these doses to the rest of the world that we ourselves wouldn’t use? AZ needs a massive reboot of their vaccine strategy.
Hopefully the US trial due to report out in 2 weeks will be solid
Yeah, but the trial dosing is, what, 21 days? So presumably the efficacy will be 60-something percent. Unless the US is willing to back higher efficacy at longer dosing interval, nobody will want a two-dose vaccine when they can get the same or better with one dose.
The ChAdOx1 booster interval in the US trial is four weeks (not 21 days). But I agree, I don't see conditions under which it is approved fast enough in the US and fulfills some unmet demand (of any kind?). Let it go to work where it's needed.
