another vaccine of course great news for us about novak's. well as we've been been hearing you know the one thing that everybody wants to know is is this going to help is it how effective is it and as we have been hearing 89.989.3 percent effective in the u.k. faced 3 trials and significantly 50 percent effective against one of the mutations that is now the predominant very in the u.k. in south africa 90 percent in the phase 2 trials especially against this escape very and of course that is very significant novak's has made it clear that you know in its u.k. trial it's had 15000 participants between the ages of 18 and 84 years of age including 27 percent over the age of $65.00 and of course that they be stressing that point right now in this debate around the astra zeneca vaccine where there is sort of lacking evidence and data about how effective it is for people in you know older sort of groups and communities so but you know the integral thing is that it's not yet approved the other thing i can tell you about if you're a time is that it wo

well the reaction to the united front from novak's this morning here in the u.k. has been was like spectacular and thrilled and compare and contrast for example the trials and tribulations that the europeans have been having with a vaccine rollout to the rollout that's been taking place here in the u.k. i'm outside a mass vaccination santa in wembley within within sight of the famous football stadium here this one of 50 mass vaccination centers that are in existence and some $1300.00 vaccinations senses large and small to authorize these that are scattered around the u.k. novak's is a drug which has a lot of advantages according to the data 1st of all storage it can be stored at a normal refrigerator temperature so it doesn't have the difficulties that the fossil by own tech vaccine has as far as transportation and storage secondly the results themselves were extremely encouraging 89 percent effectiveness the numbers involved in the trial were relatively small these phase 3 trials on the data now has to be presented to regulate says in a matter of weeks from now s

well reaction so they announced minutes from novak's this morning here in the u.k. has been was like spectacular and thrilled and compare and contrast for example the trials and tribulations that the europeans have been having with their vaccine rollout to the rollout that's been taking place here in the u.k. i'm outside a mass vaccination center in wembley within within sight of the famous football stadium here this one of the 50 mass vaccinations senses that are in existence and some $1300.00 vaccinations senses of large and small to prices that are scattered around the u.k. novak's is a drug which has a lot of advantages according to the data 1st of all storage it can be stored at a normal refrigerator temperature so it doesn't have the difficulties that the far as a bio tech vaccine has as far as transportation and storage secondly the results themselves 1 were extremely encouraging and as i say through old and spectacular 2 of the work that i've heard this morning 89 percent effectiveness the numbers involved in the trial were relatively small these phase 3 tri

s efforts and the reason why was the dates it was so good 89.3 percent effectiveness for the novak's vaccine and against the u.k. variants the so-called kent variant it showed around 85 percent effectiveness and given the fact that there's been a lot of concern about the way covert 19 might morph might evolve might throw up new variants which might circumvent the best efforts of the original set of vaccines that result in particular that a 85 percent result is particularly gratifying for the novak's people and for the politicians and epidemiologists all just going to be using it but it was less exciting in relation to the south africa variants another variant causing concern but still 60 percent effective against that particular strain so what's going to happen now is the regulator here in the u.k. the m h r a is going to implement a kind of a rolling approval of the nova vax vaccine some weeks away from submitting it for full approval but what we're looking at is probably the 2nd half of 2021 that this might actually get approved and start being put into people's arms yeah paul anot

we're also many weeks away from novak's actually submitting its final briefing its dossier of evidence to the regulator for final approval but the expectation is that somewhere around the 2nd half of 2021 that could get approval and start being used the other vaccine which is in the pipeline is from a company called janssen which is affiliated with johnson and johnson people might know it better as what they found was 66 percent effectiveness for their vaccine it's a lower percentage reason why that is a warning signs in order as exciting is because johnson's vaccine is a good one and those vaccine it can also be stored at normal fridge temperature but that one dose vaccine means you're not beholden to potential supply issues further down the line if you're waiting for your 2nd dose to come through all in all considering that less than a year ago many scientists were worried that they may never find a vaccine for corona virus to have 3 already approved for use here in the u.k. and 2 more in the pipeline at least it is good news for the scientists and for the politicians. maybe i'm in t

the effectiveness of the novak's vaccine that some 89.3 percent according to the company. the effectiveness against the new u.k. variant is around 85 percent so that's 6 string the encouraging bearing in mind that the new variants. of coronaviruses covert 19 have been causing some serious concern that they might actually circumvent the original vaccine process now what happens now well the u.k. regulates at the m h a is not going to engage in a kind of a rolling assessments all of the ongoing work that's going on with novak's to get the data for some several weeks away from the vaccine actually submitting a final dossier a final folder of data for to the regulators for final approval for use that said what they're going to hopefully have if the shuttle pans out as they hope it will is use approval by the 1st quarter of 2021 now cast your mind back not so many months ago drug companies were worried that they might not be a vaccine for curve at 19 now we already have 3 approved in the u.k. and one in the pipeline you can see why politicians and the public are rather excited

we're also many weeks away from novak's actually submitting its final briefing its dossier of evidence to the regulator for final approval but the expectation is that somewhere around the 2nd half of 2021 that could get approval and start being used the other vaccine which is in the pipeline is from a company called jensen which is affiliated with johnson and johnson people might know it better as what they found was 66 percent effectiveness for their vaccine it's a lower percentage 'd reason why that is warning signs it was exciting is because johnson's vaccine is a good one and those vaccine it can also be stored at normal fridge temperature but that one dose vaccine means you're not beholden to potential supply issues further down the line if you're waiting for your 2nd dose to come through all in all considering that less than a year ago many scientists were worried that they may never find a vaccine for corona virus to have 3 already approved for use here in the u.k. and 2 more in the pipeline at least it is good news for the scientists and for the politicians. the world health or

it is important to put novak djokovic�*s comments into context.they arrived in melbourne they would have to quarantine for iii days in their hotel. however, they did arrive under the condition that they would be allowed out for five hours each day to practice at proper facilities. but over the weekend, three of the specially chartered flights arrived in melbourne with a postive test onboard — and that's meant that all 72 players. the likes of victoria azarennka, kei nishikori, sloane stephens, and angelique kerber are now all forbidden to leave their rooms for two weeks. so it means we are going to be seeing plenty more of this over the next fortnight, with players training as best they can in their rooms. this was yulia putinseva hitting balls over her bed and against a wardrobe. now, plenty of the players aren't happy about this. australian bernard tomic and his girlfriend complained about the conditions on social media, while world number—one novak djokovic has reportedly submitted a list of demands which have included less time in isolation an

biotech firm novak says developed a vaccine demonstrating 90 percent efficacy in a phase 3 trial and proving successful against variance it's the need that scientists say we need to keep an eye on. last week if you work for it he's member states to do more on sequencing the genome of the novel coronavirus the hope is that scientists can detect mutations earlier and keep track on how they spread. so far major new variants have been identified in south africa the u.k. and in brazil all of them a cause for concern as they spread much faster the reason is a mutation in the so-called spike protein that helps them attach more easily to human cells. the changes are not believed to cause a greater severity of illness but the higher rate of transmission means more cases putting even more pressure on health care systems in many countries there are already shortages of ventilators intensive care units and staff. plus slowing down the spread of those new strains would require even more stringent lockdown measures. initial studies have shown that biotech pfizer's covered 19 vaccine is likely to b
