Commenting on the study, Paul Hunter, professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia, said, “Taking all this evidence together, the 12 week gap between first and second dose is clearly the better strategy as more people can be protected more quickly and the ultimate protective effect is greater. Given the poor efficacy at preventing asymptomatic infections, the vaccine will not stop transmission of covid but will still go a long way to reduce the R value and transmission because there will be far fewer symptomatic infections and people who are symptomatic are rather more infectious than those who are asymptomatic.”
