Pascal Sorio, CEO of multinational pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, said, "We have found the formula for the success of the Corona 19 vaccine."



CEO Sorio said in an interview with the British media, "I think we have found a'form of success' that can benefit from two doses of the vaccine." .



CEO Sorio's emphasis on the'success formula' is interpreted as the fact that the immune effect appeared differently depending on the dosage during the clinical trial.



As early as today, the UK Drug and Health Care Products Authority is expected to decide whether to approve the vaccine, and the UK government plans to start vaccinating AstraZeneca from the 4th of next month.



Other countries in Europe are also vaccinating against COVID-19.



First, the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and Bioentech was delivered to 27 member states of the European Union, and vaccination began.
