AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine is 94 per cent effective at preventing deaths from the disease in over 65s after two doses, an official report revealed today.
Public Health England calculated the figures after analysing the number of fatalities among those who had received both jabs.
The report added Pfizer's jab was 98 per cent effective at preventing deaths among the over-65s after two doses.
Consultant epidemiologist at PHE, Jamie Bernal, said: 'This data gives us even more confidence that the vaccines offer high levels of protection against Covid across all age groups.'
