I don't think we know based on public information. Some media report "up to 90%" which suggests the upper bound of the confidence interval, rather than the centre. Could also be a very wide CI, that overlaps with the standard dosage.

That's a fairer statement than the original which seemed biased towards only reporting the lower end of the interval without acknowledging the upper bound.
