Prince William congratulated those working on a coronavirus vaccine in a special video call shared on Monday. The Duke of Cambridge, who secretly tested positive for coronavirus back in April, spoke to a team from The University of Oxford.
The royal spoke with Professor Andy Pollard, Professor of Paediatric Infection and Immunity, Professor Sarah Gilbert, Professor of Vaccinology, and Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University about the vaccine that was created alongside AstraZeneca.
The team explained how the vaccine is shown to be 70.4 per cent effective, with tests on two dose regimens showing that it could have up to a 90 per cent success rate in preventing COVID-19 in recipients of the vaccine.
