The coronavirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca showed 79% effectiveness in preventing symptomatic cases and does not increase the risk of blood clots, according to a statement from the pharmacist. The immunizer will again be used in European countries and has also been shown to be 100% effective against severe cases of the disease.
