Novavax, one of three companies the Federal Government has struck a deal with to distribute COVID-19 vaccines in Australia, said its offering appears 89 per cent effective based on early findings from a British study.
Key points:
A trial of 15,000 people in Britain is still underway, but an interim analysis found 62 participants so far have been diagnosed with COVID-19
Only six of the unwell participants got the vaccine and the rest received dummy shots
