Two doses of AstraZeneca s coronavirus vaccine are up to 90 per cent effective at stopping symptoms of the disease, according to official estimates.
Public Health England s analysis of real-world data found the British-made jab was just as effective as a double-dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
No10 s vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi hailed the data, saying it highlighted the incredible importance of getting both doses of the jab.
He added: There is no better weapon to send this virus into retreat than our life-saving vaccines. A second dose is vital to ensure you have the strongest possible protection so we can return to normality and get back to the things we love.
