Moderna said on Thursday its COVID-19 shot was about 93 per cent effective four to six months after the second dose, showing hardly any change from the 94 per cent efficacy reported in its original clinical trial.
"This strong duration will benefit the hundreds of millions of people who have been dosed to date with Moderna vaccines."Moderna posted second-quarter sales of US$4.4 billion, slightly above an average estimate of US$4.2 billion drawn from 10 analysts polled by Refinitiv. Its COVID-19 shot is the firm's first authorised product and sales were just US$67 million in the same period last year.
Public health authorities around the world grappling with the highly transmissible Delta variant are debating whether additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and necessary. Pfizer plans to ask for authorisation for a third shot of its vaccine later this month, and some countries - like Israel – have already begun or plan to soon begin administering shots to older or otherwise vulnerable people.
My interpretation is that at the 6th month, it remains 93% effective.
What about after 6 months?
What does this mean?
