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.
