A COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by the British-Swedish firm AstraZeneca appears to provide strong protection three months after just one dose while also curbing spread of infections, researchers said Wednesday.
British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the study supports a strategy of delaying the second shot so more first doses can be delivered to more people. Researchers also found a 67% reduction in positive swabs among those vaccinated – crucial news because if no virus is present, the virus can t spread.

It’s enough to make anyone believe in miracles. On Jan. 30, 1981, a $10.5 million FB-111A jet bomber plummeted directly toward the most densely populated section of Portsmouth. Roughly 2,500 people lived in the low-rent apartment complex then known as Sea Crest and Mariner’s Village. A spray of jet fuel set buildings on fire as the pilotless plane ripped into the earth. But 40 years later, what might have been the world’s worst aviation disaster is scarcely a footnote in local history. There was a cascading liquid fire burning across the tops of the buildings, police officer Albert Pace recalled years later. It looked like a great wave at the beach coming in only it was all flames of liquid fuel. It was pretty spectacular.
PORTSMOUTH Helped by a fervent local sleuth placing messages across America, a Portsmouth High School Class of 1962 ring found in California is being returned to its suspected rightful owner.
Bruce Wesley Singleton, 76, born in the old Portsmouth Cottage Hospital and a former Portsmouth Herald delivery boy, was contacted over the weekend in Washington state about what is believed to be his ring.
Wanda Fontaine, of Eliot, Maine, whose parents are part of the PHS Class of 1962, took an interest in the mystery of the ring, searching old PHS archives and tracking him down.
“It stretches the imagination, but there’s no doubt in my mind that that’s my ring,” Singleton said Sunday.
