Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine appears to protect against U.K. and South African COVID-19 strains in lab

Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine appears to protect against U.K. and South African COVID-19 strains in lab, study finds

The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech appears to provide protection against the new highly contagious U.K. and South African variants, according to a preliminary study conducted in a laboratory.

The research, conducted by scientists from U.S. drug company Pfizer Inc. PFE, +0.52%, its German partner BioNTech SE 0A3M, +4.80% and the University of Texas Medical Branch, indicated that antibodies in people who had received their vaccine were effective in neutralizing a key mutation shared by the two highly transmissible strains.

The study, which was published Thursday on preprint server bioRxiv, hasn’t yet been peer reviewed.

The scientists cautioned that the findings were limited as they didn’t look at the full set of spike mutations in the new strains but were “encouraged” by the results focused on the key N501Y mutation. They added that the vaccine appeared effective against the new mutation as well as 15 other mutations previously tested.

“We’ve now tested 16 different mutations, and none of them have really had any significant impact. That’s the good news,” said Philip Dormitzer, one of Pfizer’s top viral-vaccine scientists, in a report by Reuters. “That doesn’t mean that the 17th won’t.”
