Trial data are backed up by real-world experience in other countries. By February 28th Britain had administered 9.7m doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 11.5m doses of another vaccine, made by Pfizer , an American firm, in a partnership with BioNTech, a German one. The Medicinesand Healthcare Regulatory Agency, Britain's medicines regulator, reckons that both vaccines cause between three and six reports of side-effects for every1,000 doses delivered , almost all of which are mild. Two hundred and twenty-seven people died shortly after receiving a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab; 275 after the AstraZeneca one. Once again, neither figure seems unusual, and the deaths are unlikely to be linked to the vaccines. Around half a million people die in Britain every year, and the very old and very sick were first in line for jabs.
