A novel vaccination is to provide 90 percent protection against the coronavirus. The pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Biontech have developed a vaccine that is expected to offer 90 percent protection against corona disease. It has already been tested on 43,500 people. One of them is the Austrian virologist and top researcher Florian Krammer. He cheered: “For the first time we are seeing a vaccine that works.
The vaccine uses a completely experimental approach, which involves injecting part of the virus’s genetic code into people, in order to train the immune system.
About 43,000 people have been given the vaccine, and no safety concerns have been raised.
Lower Austrian company involved in the production of the active substance
Austro-Connection. Krammer is not the only Austrian involved in the vaccination sensation. The German Biontech company was co-founded by the Viennese immunologist Christoph Huber. And: Biontech in turn commissioned a company in Klosterneuburg (Lower Austria) to develop the main components of the vaccine.
EU has vaccine. On Tuesday, the EU now declared that the contract with Pfizer and Biontech was in “dry cloths”. All 27 EU countries are to have access to the first delivery of the vaccine at the same time. There are 300 million vaccine doses.
The approval of the active ingredient will be applied for next week in the USA, and soon it should also be approved in Europe.
