It is the same. But you cannot expect a vaccine to work similarly in people of two different regions having major differences in their diet, climate and lifestyles. That's why many vaccine candidates are being tested in multiple countries( read potential markets).
Also, I think the UK has preferential rights at least on the initial yield of the vaccine.
- threeseed 6y agoAstraZeneca is licensing the "recipe" for the vaccine to other countries so yield won't be an issue. Australia is part of this group that will be manufacturing all the dosages locally and independently.

- hn_throwaway_99 6y ago> But you cannot expect a vaccine to work similarly in people of two different regions having major differences in their diet, climate and lifestyles. Can you? Do you have any examples of successful vaccines that are only given in one region because they have been proven ineffective in a different region?
- bluGill 6y agoCholesterol medication is given at lower doses to those with Asian background. Not a vaccine, and what is important is genetics not region.
- blackbear_ 6y agoThis is very true and undeserving of the downvotes. A vaccine can work globally, but it is not at all guaranteed. This is because the distribution of certain alleles, fundamental for the immune system, is heavily biased geographically [1]. [1]: http://pypop.org/popdata/ http://pypop.org/popdata/
