talk to us about what more you're learning about oxford and astrazene astrazeneca's vaccine, of coursethis is the moment we've all been waiting for for many, many months, what are the results for the university of oxford and astrazeneca vaccine. the results are in for the early data. this is just the headline stuff. overall the efficacy number is 70%. now, you can compare that to moderna's which is 94.5 and pfizer which is 95%. it does look disappointing. however, this is an average of different doses they tried out through the phase two and phase three trial in the uk and brazil. really interesting, those participants that were given half a dose and four weeks later got a full dose, the efficacy results for that was 90%. but two full doses, it was 62%. so, now astrazeneca are looking to focus much, much more on this idea of having a half dose and then a full dose. and they can start to incorporate that into the phase three trial that's ongoing in the united states. it is good news. they are very pleased with this result. they are now submitting all this data to the regulatory bodies a

pharmaceutical giant astrazeneca in collaboration with britain's oxford university says its covid-19 vaccine could be up to 90% effective in preventing the virus. the data comes from a phase three trial which tested the vaccine at two different dosing levels, both of which involving giving patients two shots. the hope sfl news comes as new data shows americans' trust in the race for the vaccine is slightly up. here is nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: with multiple vaccines potentially on the way, health experts must now convince americans they're safe, after the white house interfered in fda and cdc coronavirus guidance, americans' confidence in those agencies and the vaccine process dropped, but now indications that confidence is slowly starting to return. a gallup poll finds 58% of now likely to get vaccinated, up from a low of 50% in september though 42% still say they won't get the vaccine. >> we've got to make sure we engage the community there was no compromise of safety nor was there compromise of scientific integrity. >> reporter: vaccines typically take years to develop but

system and that is the same bits of the spike protein almost that the pfizer vaccine or the oxford astrazenecang made, also show to the human immune system so it's really exciting, the pfizer result, from last week because even if there is still a long way to go with vaccine development, it was the first time we've actually seen for certain that a vaccine against spike protein. and can stop coronavirus so it's important we have our range of vaccines in our armoury so the pfizer vaccine has given us hope and the jansen study starts today, as she said. it starts today but when do you anticipate you might have some sense of how it is working and going and getting results? jansen have already done a very large study in the united states of one dose of this vaccine and the interim results from phase one and two studies show that it does appear to generate a good immune response and this two dose study which is starting in the uk but also globally in america and other european countries, is to see whether the second dose can give a better and more prolonged immune response, if you like, whether the
