3. The Astra-Zenaca vaccine is apparently stable/storable at much closer to room temperature, but there've been some anomalies reported in their Phase III testing. Plus, their reported efficacy as reported at around 70%, but that's an average between the whole-dose and half-dose initial dose. Given that the ordinary flu vaccine is around 70%, it looks like it may be very useful, especially if they get the dosage right.
