A relative handful of Americans have received the vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus. But according to HuffPost, it's unclear if those lucky few can still pass along the virus to others, even if they themselves aren't infected. Likewise, it's important to remember that even after getting the jab, it takes the body at least a month to build up its immunity to COVID-19. Therefore, it's essential to continue following proven public health measures, like universal masking, handwashing, and physical distancing. Experts say Americans shouldn't start to relax on observing these measures until roughly 70% of the population has been vaccinated.
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Massive studies have shown great things, says Business Insider. Two leading coronavirus vaccines are highly effective at preventing people from getting COVID-19. Top researchers are already pitching plans for additional studies. This research aims to answer a critical question... Will this also prevent transmission of the virus? Many people wonder, particularly, about asymptomatic infections and carriers. Key barriers to these studies are getting funding and getting vaccine developers on board.
Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine candidate is more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19. Other vaccines like chickenpox, measles, and polio all hover in the 90% and higher effective range. Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech made the announcement Monday, says Business Insider. The partnership is the first to report positive results from the final stage of clinical trials. The shot was found to prevent COVID-19 decently in the 94 study cases of the disease observed. The vaccine will most likely be given out in two doses spaced three weeks apart.
