Things to Remember about a COVID-19 Vaccine
Early data indicates that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine may be 90% effective. Of course, this is early data, but even if it drops some, it sounds like it will be above the 50% minimum for approval.
Russia claims their Sputnik-9 vaccine is 92% effective, although this is Russia.
It looks like COVID-19 may well be very vulnerable to vaccines. From the start, we have followed the narrative that vaccination is how we move forward from this pandemic.
But here are some things we all need to know and understand before we roll up our sleeves.
Takeup is Vital
First of all, no vaccine is useful if people won’t take it. Thankfully, Pfizer’s results were announced after the election…an announcement right before could have made a lot of people not trust it.
We need to get vaccinated. Some people can’t, and some of those people are those most likely to die if they do catch COVID-19.
Get yourself vaccinated to protect yourself and those around you.
But also think about these.
