Late-stage data on an experimental COVID-19 vaccine from Sanofi and GSK has shown the shot confers protection against the Omicron variant of the virus, the companies said on Friday.

In a trial involving 13 000 adults, the vaccine demonstrated an efficacy rate of 64.7% against symptomatic COVID-19, and 72% efficacy against infections specifically caused by the Omicron variant.

“Sanofi-GSK’s vaccine is the first candidate to demonstrate efficacy in a placebo-controlled trial in an environment of high Omicron variant circulation,” Sanofi said in a statement. Earlier this month, the bivalent vaccine showed potential in two trials to protect against the virus’ main variants of concern – the Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 strains – when used as a booster shot.
