The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) said that the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine against the coronavirus has produced antibodies in 97 percent of the recipients.

The government institute disclosed the findings on Wednesday after  conducting a real-world study in Bangladesh.

IEDCR, however, said that 92 percent of the recipients produced antibodies a month after being injected with the vaccine.

It also said those who have history of Covid-19 infection and got vaccinated, antibody was found to be four times higher in their bodies.
