LONDON - The first “real-world data” suggests that vaccines appear to cut Covid transmissions and infections by two-thirds.
The Daily Telegraph says the statistics are part of a dossier handed to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he finalises a roadmap out of lockdown.
The news appears to vindicate Britain’s strategy of vaccinating by age order, the paper says, as cases among those over the age of 80 have fallen by 38% in seven days.
