At a press conference, experts said there was good evidence that the vaccine was effective even in older groups. Several countries, including Germany and France, have refused to allow the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab to be given to older people. Emmanuel Macron, the French president, claimed it was quasi-ineffective and that early results were not encouraging . However, the WHO said that although there was only a small number of over-65s in trials, it expected the impact of the vaccine to be the same as for younger people. In interim recommendations released on Wednesday, the WHO said: Immune responses induced by the vaccine in older persons are well documented and similar to those in other age groups. This suggests it is likely that the vaccine will be found to be efficacious to older persons.
