Also that was done on a small sample size (2000) with an average age of 31.
Depends what you mean by poorly, that report advises efficacy of between 50-65% but does not give detail on the severity of any infection post vaccination, if it stops serious illness and hospitilisation then it's done its job as far as I can tell.
