7.00 Spanish scientists ask for caution until they know details of the Pfizer vaccine
Although the results of the trials of Pfizer's vaccine against covid-19 are "very promising news", Spanish scientists believe that it is necessary to be "cautious and patient" until you know all the details of the prototype well and keep "guard high "because there are still" months of pandemic "ahead.
The US pharmaceutical company announced this week that its vaccine is 90% effective.
Developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, it is in the final stage of a Phase III trial that is being carried out with 40,000 volunteers and that, predictably, will end in two months, when the tests reach 164 infected.
Speaking to Efe, the CSIC research professor Vicente Larraga, from the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research, has pointed out that although the 90% level of effectiveness "is very good" and is similar to that of flu vaccines, " much more information is needed "about this drug.
"The trial has not finished yet. It has approximately three months left," the Spanish researcher warned: "What the pharmaceutical company has now offered is the so-called 'intermediate analysis', a report that usually advances information on the trials but does not it contains conclusive data "such as those published in a scientific journal at the end of the process.
