Against mild or moderate infection. Sounds like they think (but haven't got evidence either way yet) it might still provide decent protection against severe disease - which means it's better than nothing for sure.

Yeah, I havent seen an official study with efficacy but theyre only believed to be slightly less effective against the new variants. I suppose this is why this particular vaccine was never approved in the US.
