According to information obtained by the Correio Braziliense, the covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech protects against the coronavirus variant identified in the United Kingdom, according to an article published by scientists from the two pharmaceutical companies last January 19.

The document reaffirms the findings published earlier this month in another article written by scientists at Pfizer, which also indicated protection of the immunizer against the new strain.
