3 doctors explain why COVID-19 prevention doesn't stop at immunization

While the COVID-19 vaccines currently authorized for emergency use in the US reported aefficacy after two doses in controlled clinical trials, in the real world, the effectiveness of the vaccine may be comparable or lower given how vaccines may be stored and handled.

An efficacy of 95% means that it is anticipated 5%, or one in 20 vaccinated people, may not develop immunity and therefore, could still be susceptible to SARS-COV-2 infection. Nonetheless, an efficiency of 94% and 95%, respectively, is a remarkable achievement and on par with some of the most effective vaccines like chickenpox and measles.Though it seems like an eternity, the COVID-19 pandemic began just over a year ago.

Finally realists!!! The marketing of vaccines which in the end I predict will need to be updated continuously making the previous shots redundant; all of this while billions are poured in big pharma
