Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency will start to assess the vaccination straight away.
The study involved more than 15,000 participants aged 18 to 84, with 27% aged over 65.

An early stage study carried out on 4,400 people in South Africa has shown that the Novavax treatment has "significant clinical efficacy" against the South African variant of the virus.
The UK has already ordered 60 million vials of the vaccine which will be manufactured at the Fujifilm plant in Stockton-on-Tees.
