ROME: Covid-19 infections in adults of all ages fell by 80% five weeks after a first dose of Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca vaccine, according to Italian research published on Saturday.
Scientists started studying data from the day Italy’s vaccination campaign began, on Dec 27 2020, until May 3 2021. “As of 35 days after the first dose, there is an 80% reduction in infections, 90% reduction in hospitalisations, and 95% reduction in deaths,” the ISS said, adding that the same pattern was seen in both men and women regardless of age.
Among the nearly 14 million people included in the Italian study, 95% of those who had taken Pfizer and Moderna had completed the vaccine cycle, while none of those given AstraZeneca had received a second dose.
