Small-scale trial of vaccine’s efficacy shows it offers very little protection against mild to moderate infection

Scientists who conducted a small-scale trial of the vaccine’s efficacy said it showed very little protection against mild to moderate infection, though they expressed hope that – in theory – it would still offer significant protection against more serious infection.
