Actually, in the test trials the U.S. had a 75% efficacy. The 66% number must have come as an average of the combined countries testing. Africa had about the lowest results and the U.S. had the highest I believe. I can't remember the source for my number. It may have been on the J&J website, but I can't say for sure. One doctor said that it may very well handle the African mutations better than the other serums.
