Efficacy results of more than 90 per cent and approvals around the world have set off a race
between countries for additional supplies of the precious shots,
with the U.S. seeking to exercise an option for a hundred million.
Most of the doses anticipated for next year -- enough to immunize 650 million people --
have already been spoken for.

New Strain Tests
The shot will probably be effective against the new SARS-CoV-2 strain that has emerged in the U.K
Lab tests of the vaccine’s performance have already been done
against 20 mutant versions of SARS-CoV-2
; the same tests will now be done against the new U.K. version,
and should take about two weeks
