AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine produces an immune response in older people, raising hopes a vaccine will protect those at greatest risk

Dr. Mustafa Gerek is vaccinated in volunteer in trials of a COVID-19 vaccine from China at Ankara City Hospital in Ankara, Turkey on October 13, 2020.AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine triggers an immune response in elderly people as well as young adults, the drugmaker said Monday.

The vaccine, being developed with the University of Oxford, is one of the world's leading COVID-19 vaccine candidates. This does not necessarily mean the vaccine, being developed alongside the University of Oxford, is safe and effective in older people — but it is promising news, given that the immune system weakens as a person grows older.

An AstraZeneca spokesperson told Business Insider: "It is encouraging to see immunogenicity responses were similar between older and younger adults and that reactogenicity was lower in older adults, where the COVID-19 disease severity is higher."

Of the vaccine candidates out there, this one is my favourite. It is based on old school tech. The RNA vaccines make me nervous because they alter your DNA.
