However... the article says "on day 14" it was 33% whereas the UK data measured the effect "between 14 and 21 days" do the data comparison is a bit iffy... 33% on day 14 is only JUST inside the window that immunity is expected at all.

The data @ 21 days would be much more useful.
I thought they said anyone vaccinated would have to wait 21 days before immunity was triggered so checking at 14 days seems a bit odd
