Somehow being "non inferior" is "not reassuring" and neither is that vague conclusion.
(How effective is it)
A clinical study to demonstrate ACAM2000 is non-inferior to Dryvax was conducted in each of two populations: those who had never been vaccinated for smallpox (naive) and those who had previous vaccination. For the naive population, the percentage of scar formation at the vaccination skin site or "take rates" were similar to Dryvax vaccinees. For those previously vaccinated, the immune response generated was acceptable for ACAM2000.
