1:50Now PlayingBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday warned against relying on the news of Pfizer's early coronavirus vaccine data "as a solution," stressing "the biggest mistake we could make now is to soften our resolve."
Pfizer says an early peek at its data suggests the shots may be 90% effective at preventing COVID-19, indicating the company is on track later this month to file an emergency use application with US regulators.
"If the Pfizer vaccine passes all the rigorous safety checks and is proved to be effective, then we will begin a UK wide NHS led program of vaccine distribution,"Johnson said.
An interim analysis of the Pfizer vaccine, from an independent data monitoring board, looked at 94 infections recorded so far in a study that has enrolled nearly 44,000 people in the US and five other countries.
