The first line of the article states:

"The first effective coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19, a preliminary analysis shows."

Problem is it is all from a press release. They can mangle words to be correct but very misleading. We will have to wait for the scientific paper which will take some time.
They say that every time they talk about vaccines but if you look at articles like this:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/misconceptions.htm

and this

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccine-benefits.htm

you'll see that that's not how it always works.
