BREAKING: Two Pfizer jabs give 70% protection against hospitalisation with Omicron
Two doses of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine gives people around 70% protection against hospitalisation with the Omicron variant, according to a major study from South Africa.
It was based on more than 211,000 positive Covid-19 test results from November 15 to December 7, around 78,000 of which were thought to be Omicron. This compares to the 90% efficacy of the vaccine against hospital admission during South Africa’s outbreak of the Delta variant.
