The UK government should hold off its plan to roll out CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus booster vaccines for England’s adult population until more data is accrued, the CEO of AstraZeneca said.

Writing in The Telegraph with Executive Vice President Sir Mene Pangalos, AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot said that it’s not yet clear whether a booster shot is clinically necessary.

AstraZeneca is the developer of the UK’s own CCP virus vaccine in collaboration with Oxford University.
