LONDON: British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca said Thursday that a third, or "booster", dose of its Covid-19 vaccine Vaxzevria "significantly" lifted antibody levels against the Omicron strain in a laboratory study. "Vaxzevria significantly boosted levels of antibodies against the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.529) following a third dose booster," the company said in a statement citing the study. "The third dose booster vaccination neutralised the Omicron variant to levels that were broadly similar to those observed after the second dose against the Delta variant," it said. Levels of neutralising antibodies were also higher with the booster jab than with individuals who had previously been infected and recovered naturally from Covid-19. The study was conducted by investigators from the University of Oxford, which is the academic institution which helped AstraZeneca develop the vaccine last year. Moderna says full booster dose improves Omicron protection The study analysed blood samples taken from individuals infected with Covid-19; those vaccinated with two doses plus a booster; and those who had reported previous Covid infection. "It is very encouraging to see that current vaccines have the potential to protect against Omicron following a third dose booster," said University of Oxford professor John Bell, one of the study investigators. "These results support the use of third dose boosters as part of national vaccine strategies, especially to limit the spread of variants of concern, including Omicron." On Wednesday, the World Health Organization had warned that rich countries cannot use boosters to escape the Covid crisis, as they divert valuable jabs away from poorer nations -- and encourage the virus to spread and mutate.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Nigeria destroyed more than one million expired doses of AstraZeneca''s COVID-19 vaccine yesterday after authorities said they could not be used before their expiration date. Faisal Shuaib, head of Nigeria''s National Primary Health Care Development Agency, said health officials in Africa''s most populous country were left with little choice after receiving the donated doses that didn''t have much shelf life left. "We had developed countries that procured these vaccines and hoarded them," he said. "At the point they were about to expire, they offered them for donation." Last week Shuaib had announced that Nigeria would no longer accept such donations, though he did not specify publicly what officials considered too short a shelf life. Only two per cent of Nigeria''s 206 million people are fully vaccinated, and health officials have set an ambitious goal of vaccinating more than a quarter of the population by February. While hesitancy has been high, the country''s vaccination rate has nearly doubled over the past week.

Nigeria has scrapped hundreds of thousands of expired coronavirus vaccine doses, destroying more than a million shots en masse after officials voiced complaints about the short shelf life of jabs donated by Western states.
