REUTERS/Ronen Zvulun)JERUSALEM: The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is effective at preventing symptomatic and severe disease in people with some chronic illnesses, like diabetes and heart disease, the biggest real-world study showed on Thursday .
It was more than 90 per cent effective against severe disease for people with type 2 diabetes, heart or cerebrovascular disease and 100 per cent for people suffering from immunodeficiency. "Protection is mildly reduced among patients with several co-morbidities. These results are very encouraging, as they suggest that most COVID-19 cases will be prevented by vaccination even in the elderly and chronically ill," said Ran Balicer, Clalit's chief innovation officer.
Until mid-April, Israel has documented 98 per cent fewer coronavirus cases, 93 per cent fewer critically ill and 87 per cent fewer COVID-19 deaths, according to Eran Segal, data scientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Danny Altmann, an immunology professor at the Imperial College London, said the study was among the first real world research to offer such granular data into vaccinated subgroups.
