German Health Minister Jens Spahn has said that current evidence suggests all three vaccines approved in Europe for Covid-19 provided effective protection against serious infections.
“According to what we know now, all three vaccines are effective in preventing the severe course of the Covid-19 illness,” Spahn told a news conference, according to Reuters.
South Africa decided to put on hold use of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 shot in its vaccination programme after data showed it gave minimal protection against mild-to-moderate infection caused by the country's dominant coronavirus variant.
