NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Pfizer Inc and BioNTech said on Thursday (April 1) their Covid-19 vaccine is around 91 per cent effective at preventing the disease, citing updated trial data that included participants inoculated for up to six months.

The shot was also 100 per cent effective in preventing illness among trial participants in South Africa, where a new variant called B1351 is dominant, although the number of those participants was relatively small at 800.

While the new overall efficacy rate of 91.3 per cent is lower than the 95 per cent originally reported in November for its 44,000-person trial, a number of variants have become more prevalent around the world since then.

SINGAPORE - A drug used in cancer treatment can treat patients with moderate to severe forms of Covid-19, according to a study by Singapore and US researchers.

They found that Topotecan, which is used in chemotherapy, reduced the severity and death rates of infection by Sars-Cov-2 - the virus causing Covid-19 - by suppressing inflammation in the lungs of laboratory animals.

Patients with moderate to severe forms of Covid-19 suffer from inflammation, a result of an overactive, abnormal immune response. In some patients, an exaggerated immune response - typically occurring in the lungs - can flood the infected area with white blood cells, resulting in severe inflammation, tissue damage and often death.

Topotecan works by curbing this immune response, reducing the risk of injury to the body. This was achieved at doses lower than that typically used in cancer treatment, hence significantly reducing the likelihood of any side effects from the drug.

CNA spoke to infectious diseases experts about getting infected after vaccination. 

Q: What are the chances of getting COVID-19 after vaccination?

It is rare, but not impossible.

While COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, none are 100 per cent effective.

“Although the currently approved mRNA vaccines are very effective, we must remember that prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 occurred for approximately 94 to 95 per cent of participants in the clinical trials,” said Associate Professor Hsu Li Yang, Infectious Diseases Programme Leader at the National University of Singapore’s Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health.

The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines – both used in Singapore – are mRNA vaccines.

Assoc Prof Hsu noted that the “real world” experience in the United States and Israel shows that the vaccine efficacy was less than 90 per cent.

“What this means is that one in 20 persons on average would still develop COVID-19 if exposed to the virus,” he said.
