United Kingdom, Dec 30: <\/strong>Britain has become the first nation to approve the Oxford University-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus vaccine<\/a> <\/span><\/span>designed by scientists at the University of Oxford and produced by AstraZeneca was approved for human use by the UK\u2019s independent regulator.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0United Kingdom government said that it has accepted a recommendation from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA<\/a><\/span><\/span>) it means the vaccine is both safe and effective.<\/p>\n

The company aims to supply millions of doses in the first quarter as part of its deal with the UK government to supply up to 100 million doses in total.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s National Health Service (NHS) was already lining up thousands of medics and volunteers to be ready to deliver jabs across the country.<\/p>\n

The authorization recommends two doses administered with an interval of between 4 and 12 weeks. This regimen was shown in clinical trials to be safe and effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19, with no severe cases & no hospitalizations more than 14 days after the second dose.<\/p>\n

The vaccine has a tie-up with the Serum Institute of India as well and also being evaluated by the MHRA after the final cut of data was submitted by the government last Monday.<\/p>\n

It comes as a senior UK scientist pinpointed the Oxford vaccine as a real gamechanger, which could see the country achieve herd immunity as a result of vaccination against the deadly virus by the summer months of 2021.<\/p>\n

“The people that have been vaccinated will be protected within a matter of weeks and that’s very important,\u201d<\/strong> Professor Calum Semple, a respiratory disease expert and member of the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), told to media.<\/p>\n

Britain has ordered 100 million doses of the jab, with 40 million expected to be available by the end of March 2021.<\/p>\n

AstraZeneca chief Pascal Soriot has stressed that researchers have found the “winning formula” using two doses of the vaccine, ahead of the final results being published.<\/p>\n

He has raised hopes that the jabs are more effective and should be effective against a new variant of the coronavirus that is now causing havoc in most parts of the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
