Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Found to Be 94% Effective in Real-World Study
@COVID19Up: A real-world study of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine involving more than half a million inoculated people has demonstrated its overwhelming effectiveness after two doses were given, marking a major milestone for the shot. Even after one dose, the vaccine proved effective at preventing serious illness and death.
According to the independently reviewed study out of Israel's Clalit Research Institute, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech shot were 94% effective at cutting symptomatic COVID-19 cases across all age groups.
"The study provides the first large-scale peer-reviewed evaluation of the effectiveness of a COVID-19 vaccine in a nationwide mass-vaccination setting," the institute said in a statement Thursday. SOURCE | TIP
