Biotech firm Novavax said Thursday that its coronavirus vaccine was more than 89% effective in protecting against Covid-19.

A study found that the vaccine appeared to be 85.6% effective against the U.K. variant. A separate phase two study in South Africa, however, showed the vaccine isn't nearly as effective against a new strain ravaging that country. Shares of the company were up more than 23% in after-hours trading.

Globally, the coronavirus has infected more than 101.25 million people while at least 2.18 million lives have been taken, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
