COVID vaccine found highly effective in real-world US study

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The U.S. government’s first look at the real-world use of COVID-19 vaccines found their effectiveness was nearly as robust as it was in controlled studies. The two vaccines available since December — Pfizer and Moderna — were highly effective at 90% after two doses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Monday. The study included roughly 2,500 volunteers who had completed two vaccine doses, about 500 who got one dose and about 1,000 who did not get vaccinated between mid-December and mid-March. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky called the study’s findings “tremendously encouraging.” “Our national vaccination efforts are working,” she said during a White House press briefing Monday.
