The companies noted that 'efficacy was consistent irrespective of age, sex, race, ethnicity or comorbid conditions.'

the vaccine efficacy they found, of 95.6%, reflects that reduction of disease among those who received a booster shot versus those who did not. These are the first results from a randomized, controlled Covid-19 vaccine booster trial, the companies said, and they reflect a period when the highly contagious Delta variant was prevalent.
