The British government remains “very confident” about the efficacy of all the COVID-19 vaccines in use in the UK, despite new research showing they are less effective against the South African variant of the CCP virus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.
“We’re very confident in all the vaccines that we’re using, and I think it’s important for people to bear in mind that all of them we think are effective in delivering a high degree of protection against serious illness and death, which is the most important thing,” Johnson told reporters during a visit to a manufacturing facility in Derby.
