"CVnCoV demonstrated an interim vaccine efficacy of 47 percent against Covid-19 disease of any severity and did not meet prespecified statistical success criteria," CureVac said in a statement.

Berlín. El proyecto de vacuna contra la covid-19 del laboratorio alemán CureVac sufrió un golpe este jueves, horas después de anunciarse una efectividad de prevención por debajo del 50% para este inmunizante del cual la Unión Europea (UE) había reservado 405 millones de dosis.

CureVac informó este miércoles que su proyecto de vacuna era eficaz en un 47%, según un análisis intermedio de un ensayo clínico a gran escala, y no cumplía por ahora los criterios exigidos.
